The Adventures of Blind Tom depicts the life story of Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins, an African American enslaved classical pianist, composer, and singer who performed to audiences around the world. As illustrator and writer of this children's book, Dr. Obiora N. Anekwe uses poetry and collage imagery to tell the extraordinary life story of Blind Tom. His book is appropriate for children and parents affected by the challenges of autism and other audiences who want to learn more about America's forgotten musical legends. This illustrative work also demonstrates how any child can overcome mental or physical challenges in order to become a successful and productive adult.
