James’ Story

We are delighted to share one of our many success stories with you. It’s about James, a visually impaired boy, who loves our tactile and audio books so much that he was inspired to raise funds to help us make more.

A FREE library of Touch to See books bringing to life the visual world for blind and partially sighted people

  • Our award winning charity makes special raised versions of pictures that come to life when fingers feel them
  • Audio descriptions tell the pictures’ stories while directing the fingertips across the raised image, describing what is being touched, felt and ‘seen’
  • Combining the senses of touch and hearing in this way makes up for the missing sense of sight

Thousands of books and packs are available to blind and partially
sighted children, young people and adults; their families, schools
and carers. Our Library delivers via the post to members across Britain
and Ireland.

Explore titles such as British Wildlife, English Gardens and Works of Art from around the UK in our tactile books especially designed for adults.
Have fun and learn with our range of Living Picture Books (Touch to See versions of well known children’s books ), and special interest books that supplement the school curriculum for children and young people.
