Text in English.
This title invites readers to imagine living without sight through remarkable illustrations done with raised lines and descriptions of colors based on imagery. Braille letters accompany the illustrations and a full Braille alphabet offers sighted readers help reading along with their fingers.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Black Book of Colors submitted by SBNB on August 13, 2015, 8:22pm Unique book. All the pages are black. The text is about the sound/feel/smell/taste of objects of a certain color. On the opposite page, there is a picture of one of the objects described, but it's black on black and the picture is raised a little shinier. It is in braille and English with a braille alphabet at the end. Great, unique book.
