Mental Tesserae

Imag­ine tak­ing a tour of a museum as a child. Now imag­ine doing it as a blind child. Men­tal Tesserae falls into the gen­eral cat­e­gory of blogs that are about fam­ily. The author, Julie Q, does a lot more than tell of fam­ily. She can be very per­sonal, inter­est­ing and touch­ing. The post from May 4, 2007 At the Feet of a Giant, shares some of Julie Q’s expe­ri­ence as a nine year old and tour­ing Europe with her fam­ily for a month. One museum guard’s act of kind­ness that has remained with Julie all these years is poignant, and that she shares the tale with us is very spe­cial. Julie Q, The Ris­ing Blog­ger is very pleased to honor that story with our Post of the Day Award.
