"My favourite part was feeling the bumpy parts (braille) in the book, because it made me feel calm. I practiced writing out my name with the braille alphabet at the end of the book."
Review by my child (age 7)

Such a great book for explaining the effects of blindness (no colors) and showing how Braille works! As other reviewers have said, the Braille is difficult to actually read (which is unfortunate) but there are raised pictures for the reader to feel.

An amazing book for all children, this book is great for one on one reading and giving an explanation of 'seeing' with your other senses, while being a great sensory book itself.

It’s difficult to imagine what it might be like to try to experience colors as a blind person. Both sighted and blind readers can experience colors through poetic language linking them to flavors, textures, sounds, smells, and feelings, as well as by touching the raised drawings. The text is written both in English and Braille, though a note explains that the Braille is is not of the production quality necessary for a blind reader.

How could you experience different colors if you were blind? Check this fascinating book out for one way to 'see' this!

The Braille in this book is completely unreadable! Very disappointing.

This Braille Book is excellent in describing the colors in such a way that visually impaired children can actually experience the colors. As a sighted person, I enjoyed "reading" it in Braille and really admired the tactile sensation the pictures provided.

A very different book as all the pictures are in black and raised. It is meant to get across how the blind "see" colours. Also, is meant to teach about braille.

One the the most remarkably conceived and beautiful executed books I have ever held. One to be owned and cherished.

A beautiful, mind-opening book, "The Black Book of Color" is a great addition to any children's library. Highly recommended!
