A stunning and unforgettable black book... about colour. Our eyes tell us about colour. But what if you are blind? Can you still know colours? Using simple language and beautifully 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! Braille letters accompany the illustrations on every page and a full Braille alphabet offers sighted readers help in deciphering the text with their fingers, and sharing an experience usually known by blind readers alone. Winner of the prestigious BolognaRagazzi 'New Horizons' prize in 2007.
An award-winning, unforgettable black book about colour, which shows you how to "see" without your eyes.
It can be hard for a sighted person to imagine what it is like to be blind. But in this breathtaking, ground-breaking and award-winning colour book, Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria try to convey the experience of a person who can see only through their sense of touch, taste, smell or hearing. With gorgeous textured art on black paper, accompanied by a beautifully written text translated into braille, this powerful book breaks down barriers and gives young readers the ability to experience the world in a whole new way.
