January 13, 2023: DK Braille Counting Book

Part of braille literacy includes making abstract concepts into tactile information.  The book, “Counting,” counts from 1 to 10 in a rhyming pattern.  Each page has tactile images correlating to the number discussed.  All of the words are in print and braille making it accessible to all readers!  https://www.dk.com/us/book/9781465436139-dk-braille-counting/
