[nabs-l] Hailstones... available in eBraille!

[Tony Grima]

Hello - here's a book announcement from National Braille Press.
Thanks,
Tony Grima, NBP


Thanks to a wonderful customer suggestion, you can now read "Hailstones
and Halibut Bones" as an eBraille download! (The print/braille book is
also still available, of course.)

Mary O'Neill's unique book is about colors that can be heard, touched,
and smelled. Originally published in 1961, it has become a classic, at
twice the length of most children's books. 

O'Neill explores 12 different colors in 12 poems. Each series of poems
relates to a color, "What Is Green," "What Is Gold... Red... Blue," and
so forth. 

	Blue is a heron, a sapphire ring, 
	You can smell blue in many a thing: 
	Gentian and larkspur, Forget-me-nots, too. 
	And if you listen, you can hear blue 
	In wind over water.... 

"After more than twenty-five years, the poems, like colors, still sing.
Kudos to Doubleday for letting Hailstones continue to live."
