Hi all

Just wanted to share that Seedlings has been a god send to our family. Emilia just turned one last weekend and she already has ample and constant access to new Braille books thanks to seedlings. Let's help them out in Amy way we can because they are making Braille a major part of blind babies and children's every day life!
