I can't see summer, but it's clear in my mind.
I hear it, I feel it, in my heart all the time.
This incredibly accessible Australian picture book is a groundbreaking collaboration between Nas Campanella, the National Disability Affairs Reporter for ABC News, and writer, musician and disability advocate, Eliza Hull OAM, gorgeously illustrated by the award-winning Sophie Beer.
All the Ways I See is a joyful, lyrical story about a day at the beach from a blind child's perspective as she experiences the baking heat, the sticky sand, the hum of the ocean, the smell of hot chips and the splash of the waves.
This book has been designed with blind, low vision, D/deaf and/or hard of hearing audiences in mind, as well as families who are looking for stories about mindfulness and living in the moment. Innovative accessibility features include easy-to-turn pages with rounded corners, textured elements for a tactile experience, a link to access audio and sign language interpreted readings and a link to order a braille translation produced by Braille House.
Perfect for:
- All young children and families, with accessibility features for those who are blind, low vision, D/deaf or hard of hearing
- Anyone wanting an experience of summery sensory delight, mindfulness, gratitude and being in the moment
- Fostering empathy, resilience and a sense of wonder

Nas Campanella is the ABC's National Disability Affairs Reporter. Nas is totally blind and lives with a neurological condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) which means she can't read braille. After completing a Communications degree at the University of Technology Sydney, majoring in journalism she started with the ABC as a cadet and has worked in several senior roles since including producing, presenting and regional reporting. While working for Triple J she became the world's first blind newsreader to read news live to air. She is passionate about sharing stories from disabled people.
Eliza Hull OAM is an award-winning writer, musical artist and disability advocate based in Victoria. A proud disabled woman living with the neurological condition Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Eliza is passionate about amplifying the voices and experiences of people with disability across media, literature and the arts. Her children's book Come Over to My House, co-written with children's author Sally Rippin, celebrates friendship, accessibility and inclusive play, introducing young readers to disability through joyful and everyday experiences. It was a CBCA Notable Book and named in the Guardian top 10 children's books of all time. In 2026, Eliza received an Order of Australia Medal in recognition of her service to people with disability and the arts. www.elizahull.com
Sophie Beer is an award-winning author/illustrator living in Brisbane. She rejoices in creating bright, funny books that centre equality, inclusion and kindness. Her books including Love Makes a Family have been printed all over the world in many languages and have sold close to one million copies. As an illustrator, she has worked with the likes of Disney, Google, The Guardian and The Boston Globe. As a writer, her work has appeared in Frankie Magazine and The Big Issue. When she's not illustrating and writing, she thinks a lot about plants, animals, music, books, equality and Aldi choc-chip biscuits. Sophie identifies as hard-of-hearing after losing her hearing to an acoustic neuroma in 2017, an experience which lead to the creation of her first middle-grade novel Thunderhead. www.sophie-beer.com
