This illustrated children's book gives children an idea of how Braille was first invented. A story of Louis Braille is told, and it shows his triumphs. The book itself doesn't use braille, but a sample alphabet is given in the back to show children who have no experience with it what it's like. For educators, this book would be an asset to the elementary classroom because young children need to be informed and aware of blindness as an exceptionality.
It was too graphic about how he lost his eye sight, the picture not necessary just the description of what happened. Too many details about communists in his house and other information a little too much for young kids. This is more for 2nd grade.
3/24/04 author David A Adler biography of Louis Braille is written and illustrated in a way that it will appeal more to children around 6 or 7 ,due to the illustrations(the illustrations are very warm and very colorful and a little less reflective of realism).. The book also concludes with "an important dates" page as well as a full "braille page" with embossed dots.
Very hardworking service to society.A true story. A man who changed many lives for good.
