Neat book that includes a raised picture for readers to feel as they read the lines of the story.

Brilliant concept and gorgeous execution to convey the experience of color for the blind. The colors are conveyed in text and raised lines on the page, describing each color through taste, touch, sound and smell, as well as providing the reader the ability to feel the images with their fingers.

What a cool book! Written in both Braille and white text on black paper, this book lets kids "feel" what colors are like. Since white is the sky when clouds gather and rain falls, kids can feel on the black page the shape of raindrops. A cool book to share one-on-one or in very small groups.

This is one of those children's books that touch your heart. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, close your eyes and you will be transported because of the beauty of the words. This is truly a beautiful book.

The only color in this book is black, as the raised art represents the colors a blind person would "see."

This book is amazing!! I can't wait to buy a copy for myself. Children's picture books are so great. This has the story in brail and print, and the illustrations are all in this tactile, black, material that you can feel and see. Great!

Amazing! Not only is this a great book for the visually impaired, it also teaches sighted kids (in a small way) what it's like to be blind. Includes the Braille alphabet.
