Episode 240: Crafting Children’s Books About Blindness with Jan Milusich & Megan Dausch
In this episode Shawn sits down with TVI and author Jan Milusich and her former student, poet and digital accessibility professional Megan Dausch, to explore storytelling, representation, and the writing process. Jan shares the journey behind her children’s book “I Hear the Snow, I Smell the Sea”, a story for ages 4–8 that follows a young girl discovering the changing seasons through touch, sound, smell, and taste. Jan explains how Megan became a sensitivity reader on the project, and what it meant to rework the book into a first-person narrative at the request of the publisher. She also talks about making picture books more accessible through tactile “story boxes” while Megan reflects on being one of Jan’s first students, her own path into poetry and creative writing, and the importance of disabled voices in publishing.
