Living Paintings launches new book about sustainable transport for blind and visually impaired children

There is a partial view of a page of a 3D book and a partial view of a page of a printed colour paper-based book. They show the same images - side-on profile of a saloon car emitting clouds of exhaust fumes; a bus; a saloon car connected to an electric vehicle charging point by a lead; a scooter. The 3 D book is white. the paper based book has some colour - the bus is red; the cars are blue.

Charity Living Paintings has released a new 3-D book about sustainable transport for blind and visually impaired children, thanks to a grant from Rees Jeffreys Road Fund.

Living Paintings offers a large library of books on a range of topics, enabling blind and visually impaired children to learn and explore the world around them.

Each book is accompanied by paper-based text document explaining concepts and images, as well as an audio book. The new book is designed for blind and partially sighted children aged 7 to 11 years old. 

Feedback from young readers has been very positive: “Hey check out this new library book. You’ll like learning all about amazing self-driving vehicles and eco-friendly machines. It’s like reading about the future!”

Thanks to the funding from Rees Jeffreys Road Fund, blind and partially sighted young people will be able to learn about sustainable and micro-transport.
