Good introduction to Braille and his work through lens of his childhood. Like that the Braille alphabet was included on endpages, but actually having some of the text in Braille would make a stronger book.
Louis Braille lost his eyesight as a child. He was horrified to learn that the only books available to the blind were terribly short because of the size necessary of the text read by touch. He came up with a new, simple system. Six Dots is the beautiful picture book story of his Braille's life, with clever illustrations that help share what it might be like to be unable to see.
