My Project

Please help my students grow and learn with braille books! Many of my students are blind and require braille to read. However, obtaining a braille book is not as simple as going to the local bookstore to purchase something for them to enjoy. Braille books are limited due to the demand and are difficult to find.

Seedlings Braille Books for Children offers a great variety in both contracted and uncontracted braille.

My students are eager to enjoy all that reading has to offer, but they need the resources to do so. Please consider giving my students a gift they will always cherish!
