A WORD FROM KIM CHARLSON...
"Creativity and individual personal style are so often expressed,
particularly by
children, through art and drawing. The creation of tactile pictures can be
an excellent
method of developing drawing and other artistic skills for children who are
blind
or visually impaired."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
"Using this book, I can finally do artwork independently. I've learned that
art is
more than colors on paper."
- Sam Lylis, Perkins Student
"These well-designed braille drawings can be a fun, artistic exercise and
learning
experience that can eliminate some of the anxiety and/or reluctance that
frequently
accompanies the braille learning process for many older adults."
