What My Colored Eyes See: The Words of a Decorated Child, is a book of poetry and short stories, written by
Dennis Maurice Dumpson, that was created to share a perspective that is many times overlooked. This book gives a voice to decorated children everywhere; children who feel like their stories, struggles, hopes, and dreams have not been included in the story of our lives. Moreover, this book showcases our unique differences, but when you read it you have no choice but to see our striking similarities. Simply put, this is life translated poetically—a privilege to look at this world with your
colorful eyes!
