The follow-up book, Stories of People Who Listen with their Heart and See with Their Palms: Living with Deafblindness II (Zgodbe ljudi, ki poslušajo s srcem in gledajo z dlanmi: Živeti z gluhoslepoto II), also includes the story of a young girl with deafblindness from Macedonia, written by her mother, entitled: “A new world where we don’t need eyes and ears, just a heart and a soul” (“Nov svet, v katerem ne potrebujemo oči in ušes, le srce in dušo”).
