So few books about braille for sighted children. Most kids aren't even aware of what braille means. I can't wait to enlighten my students next year with this wonderfully don't textured book.

The braille is too light (not embossed high enough) to read by touch, but beautiful concept and book.

This book is both is amazing. Half of the book is written in brail (sorry for the bad spelling) with the words written out underneath it. With a bit of practicce you could learn brail. I work in the childrens section of my college library and out of all the books I reconmend this one the most.

I love childrens book and was fascinated by this one. It is for blind people with no words but raised pages and braille for blind. Every seeing or blind child should read this book.

Format: Hardcover
This extraordinary children's book is a true work of art, a kind of meeting ground for the vision impaired and sighted children alike. Author Menena Cottin and artist Rosanna Faria, both from Venezuela, collaborated on the creation of this new approach to learning. The Black Book of Colors truly is black, every page! With embossed art and Braille text, black on black, the book defines colors without using visual aids. No easy task, try it sometime. Yellow taste like mustard and red is as sweet as watermelon. The vast majority of children are fully sighted but how then can they appreciate the difficulties faced by a child who is not so lucky. This book will give them a glimpse into that world. To that end each page has the Braille text duplicated in English, in white letters. The story line is simple, just a series of interconnected phrases that illustrates the world of color that surrounds us. Speaking from a sighted persons point of view I can only asses how sighted people might react to the book. I don't know what the authors original intent was but it seemed to me that they meant it as a way for sighted children and blind children to share a common experience and learn something about one another. In reading other reviews I saw a common theme: it's a good book but the Braille embossing was not raised enough to be any good to a blind person. I suspect this is a result of the printing process and mass shipping. The original Mexico edition probably did not have this problem as the authors would have had some say so as to the quality and look of the finished product. The basic idea behind this book is excellent and US publishing companies will have to take extra care when printing and shipping future editions of this book or any other similar works.Read more ›
