39 Books for blind and visually impaired children with tactile, hand-made illustrations Fingertip Reading Francisciho 30, Levoča, 1477 Silky Rose Court, Mississauga, ON, Canada * tel. : contact@fingertipreading.com website: contact person: Peter Milčák, Owner About the publisher: FINGERTIP READING publishes books for blind and visually impaired children, books which are both ingenious in design and beautiful in appearance. The books are printed both in Braille and offset, with letters large enough so that even partially sighted people can read them without difficulty. The same text appears on each double page, Braille on the right and offset on the left (in some cases, vice versa). Thanks to this design, parents and teachers can read the books together with their unsighted children and pupils. This way the child learns to read Braille more easily, while the opportunity to read together brings enjoyment to both child and adult. The visual beauty of the books is demonstrated in the handmade colour pictures, made from a range of materials and designed to be touched and stroked. We deliberately chose materials with very different surface structures and use them in various artistic ways so that the unsighted reader can feel them and identify what they represent. The pictures correspond to the text and are simple, clear and expressive. Children can discover them gradually, finding new details each time they go back to them. All these help develop children s sense of touch as well as their imagination and interest in books. 39
