Catch Up with the American Action Fund

With the support of people like you, the American Action Fund for Blind
Children and Adults advances the fundamental importance of independence,
Braille literacy, tactile fluency, and equality for the blind. Here's a
quick update on the work we are doing together.

Action Fund Announces 2024 Children's Braille Book Selections

You may already know that we send Braille books to blind children for free.
These books are not on loan, but free for the children to keep and build
their own collections. We focus on producing popular children's books, often
series, that have not previously been produced in Braille, and we send a new
book to thousands of participants each month. The books are also useful for
blind parents, schools, and libraries.

The selected books for 2024 emphasize adventure, resilience, science, and
problem-solving. They include books of games, puzzles, and brain teasers.

As a blind parent of three children, two blind and one sighted, I am always
looking for books in Braille to read aloud. I very much appreciate receiving
books from the American Action Fund, and my children also look forward to
helping me rip open the envelope to discover what book is inside.

Future Reflections: the Magazine for Parents of Blind Children

In addition to providing free Braille books to blind children and conducting
other activities to encourage Braille and tactile literacy, the American
Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults also publishes a quarterly
magazine,  Future Reflections, in collaboration with the National
Organization of Parents of Blind Children.

Future Reflections covers the many issues that blind children and their
families face as these children grow from birth through college. The
