The Black Book of Colors

TITLE: The Black Book of Colors

AUTHOR: Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria   

FORMAT: BOOK

LOCATION CODE: CHB420   

 
GENERAL INFO: It is very hard for a sighted person to imagine what it is like to be blind. This groundbreaking, award-winning book endeavors to convey the experience of a person who can only see through his or her sense of touch, taste, smell or hearing.

Raised black line drawings on black paper, which can be deciphered by touch accompany a beautifully written text describing colors through imagery. The text is translated into braille, so that the sighted reader can begin to imagine what it is like to read by touch, and there is a full braille alphabet at the end of the book.

First published in Mexico, this book won the New Horizons prize at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in 2007. It has since been published around th world and has been universally praised for its unique and innovative approach.
