Louis Braille was just five years old when he lost his sight. He was a clever boy, determined to live like everyone else, and what he wanted more than anything was to be able to read. Even at the school for the blind in Paris, there were no books for him. And so he invented his own alphabet -- a whole new system for writing that could be read by touch. A system so ingenious that it is still used by the blind community today.… (más)

Just wow!

The artwork evokes a childlike wonder almost feels like stepping into a fable,but nothing sinister is lurking around the corner. While the language is simplistic it conveys such depth,empathy and understanding for blind children and disable children on a humanistic fundamental level that makes it quite universal for whomever the reader might be. It really touched my heart in an unexpected way. I also enjoyed the q&a portion at the end of the book,in addition to the Braille alphabet. What a lovely/unexpected surprise. I think books like this could teach kids a lot about empathy and civil duty. It would be a nice addition to those reading corners for kids. (

Narrated in first person from young Louis Braille's point of view, Six Dots is the story of how he went blind, how he attended a school for the blind, and how he took a military code and improved it to invent the Braille language.

Endpapers show the Braille alphabet. (
