This book makes you feel the importance of the sense of touch, not only how essential it is for everyone, but how for blind people it provides a bridge to the world around them.

Touch is one of the most important senses, humans, animals and plants all depend on it. It allows us to feel the world around us, detect danger and even convey emotions. From a gentle touch that provides comfort to recognising textures and temperatures – our skin is full of nerve endings that help us to understand our surroundings. 

This book explores this together with braille. For blind people, the sense of touch plays an even more crucial role, their language and way of communicating is based on touch. Because they cannot rely on their sight, they often develop a more refined sense of touch. This is essential for reading braille.

All text in this book has also been written in braille on the pages, so a blind person can also read it.
