[blparent] Books We Enjoy

[Veronica Smith]

You can sign up with the Kenneth Jernigan library and they will send
Braille/print books to you a few times a month, more or less.  I liked them
best as the books were always age appropriate.
Another Library is the Utah State Library for the blind, they also put you
on a list and send age appropriate books.

Thank you for some of the suggestions. These sund like really cute books. I
am excited to start purchasing some of the braille books and being able to
read to my daughter. Thanks again.
