His mom, Sara Moore is so proud of her son, saying that what she feared would be a terrible experience for him, when it was revealed he was blind has turned out to be his greatest gift.
She explained that music is inborn in her son and that he started playing the piano as soon as his hands could reach it. From playing the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," the boy has become more of an expert, and his story is one that has inspired many.
Avett Ray became visually impaired when he was two months old, as he was born with optic nerve fibroplasia, making him completely blind in one eye, and partially blind in the other.
He has learned to walk with a cane and also read braille. His mom said she hoped his story would bring more attention to children with special needs and make resources available to them as well.
Avett Ray may not be the only child to be inspired by the classic song, Bohemian Rhapsody. Three-year-old Holly Lee loves the song so much that she sings it all the time and watches the video five to six times a week.
Holly’s mother revealed that her daughter knows all the lines of the song and literally owns the song. Amazing!
It is great to see young children do great things with their talent. More of the same, please.
