Erik the Red Sees Green: A Story About Color Blindness

By Julie Anderson and David Lopez

Exuberant redhead Erik always tries his best, but he just can’t understand why he’s missing homework questions at school and messing up at soccer practice. Then one day in art class everyone notices that Erik’s painted a picture of himself with green hair! It turns out he’s not just creative, he’s color blind, too. Color blindness, also known as Color Vision Deficiency (CVD), affects a significant percentage of the population. The tendency to color-code learning materials in classrooms can make it especially hard for kids with CVD. But once Erik is diagnosed, he and his parents, teachers, coach, and classmates figure out solutions that work with his unique way of seeing, and soon he’s back on track.

Reviews for Erik the Red Sees Green

[Richard John Hunt · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book is great. I'm going to be keeping this in my art class when I become a middle school art teacher. HOWEVER, this copy on Scribd has text overlapping in places that makes it impossible to read and there is no setting to affect the text at all to correct it. Can someone get this version of the ebook corrected?
