Colour the Stars/ Taea Nga Whetu

How do you describe colour to someone who is blind? Isaac and Luke are friends. Luke is blind and believes that he doesn’t need colours in his life. Isaac can’t imagine a world without colour and decides to teach his friend about them. Because Luke is blind, Isaac must appeal to his other senses. Through his vivid descriptions and by encouraging Luke to smell, touch, taste and hear, Isaac tries to convey a sense of what colours are like.
