Two Tactile Publications from NBP Win Accolades!

When a sighted child looks at a picture, the entire image is taken in and
then the details are examined. When a blind child touches a tactile graphic,
he or she must construct the whole image from the details.

Two recent products from National Braille Press - "Goodnight Moon to Touch"
and "Let's Learn Shapes with Shapely-CAL" - offer blind children the
guidance they need to explore and discover the magic of pictures!

******
Goodnight Moon to Touch
Print/braille book; 20 tactiles; and a descriptive guide: $30

"Now at last the mystery of 'Goodnight Moon' is revealed for blind children
through a wonderful creation from National Braille Press."
Read this terrific review by Deborah Kent Stein:

If you've ever wondered what the pictures look like in "Goodnight Moon,"
you're in for some surprises.

There are three pieces to the set:
- 20 tactiles
- a guide for navigating around the images as well as more descriptive text
about the pictures in the book
- a print/braille edition of Goodnight Moon
