Have you seen this picture book yet?
The Black Book of Colors By Menena Cottin Illustrated by Rosana Faría
"It is very hard for a sighted person to imagine what it is like to be blind. This groundbreaking, award-winning book endeavors to convey the experience of a person who can only see through his or her sense of touch, taste, smell or hearing. Raised black line drawings on black paper, which can be deciphered by touch, complement a beautifully written text describing colors through imagery. Braille letters accompany the text so that the sighted reader can begin to imagine what it is like to use Braille to read."
It was recently named one of Booklist magazine's Top Ten Art books as well as a number of other awards.
More news coming soon,
