But what if you are blind? Can you still know colours? Using simple language and beautiful textured art, this book shows you how to 'see' without your eyes. The pages are black, but using your imagination and your senses you can hear, smell, touch and taste colours! Red is sour like unripe strawberries and sweet as watermelon. Yellow tastes like mustard, but is as soft as a baby chick's feathers. Blue is the colour of the sky when kites are flying. From out of the blackness, a beautiful rainbow of colours emerges.

My Braille reading friends tell me that they CANNOT read this book because it is not real Braille--the dots are not high enough to be readable.
Therefore, if the point is to introduce children to what reading Braille feels like, the authors/publishers are doing an actual disservice because they are not accomplishing that goal, and they are giving a false impression of what Braille is and what it feels like.
I, as a librarian at a library for the blind and disabled, am extremely disappointed.

This is the most beautiful book. It tries to show children what it might be like to be visually impaired. It is all in black with raised pictures, beautiful text and braile to match. It would suit a variety of ages, depending what you want to do with this book.
