Krystle, who lost her central vision due to uveitis at 19, shares how her personal journey led her to create books that prioritize accessibility through high-contrast text and large fonts. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class="">The interview explores the profound impact her books have on visually impaired parents and children, with a touching story from Federationist Simone Cooper, who met Krystle at the NFB Convention. Simone describes the joy of finally being able to read to her nieces, thanks to the thoughtful design of Inside Ability's books. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class="">Krystle also reflects on the challenges and joys of self-publishing, including working with illustrators, navigating the print industry, and building her brand without a large marketing machine. She emphasizes how accessibility benefits everyone, not just those with vision impairments, as teachers, neurodiverse individuals, and librarians have also embraced her work.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class="">Krystle’s book BEDTIME, SLEEP TIME, NIGHTTIME, DREAMTIME, A LARGE PRINT BEDTIME STORY-Reverse Contrast Edition is part of the Keystone Chapter’s Family Fun and Games basket up for bids at the State Convention next week.
