ReadBooks! is a national children's braille literacy program encouraging
families with blind children to read print/braille books together.

National Braille Press, along with Seedlings Braille Books for Children, is
distributing attractive braille book bags to families with blind and
visually impaired children, ages birth to seven, across the U.S. and Canada.
The distribution process is a collaborative effort with educators and early
intervention professionals. Note: Limited to one braille book bag per blind
child.

Who Can Participate?
Anyone who knows, works with, or cares for a blind child, aged birth to
seven, can participate in the program.
