LITTLE PEOPLE BIG DREAMS-LOUIS BRAILLE

Vegara-Sanchez, Maria Isabel

Εκδότης QUARTO , ISBN 9781836007401

Little People, BIG DREAMS Louis Braille explores the life of the remarkable man behind Braille, the tactile reading and writing system. Little Louis was a curious child - always exploring and having adventures. Then one day, while playing in his father's workshop, he had an accident with a tool and eventually lost sight in both eyes.

It was tricky to get used to, but with help from his family and a local teacher, Louis continued to learn and explore. Aged ten, he moved to Paris to start at the Royal Institute for the Young Blind. Unfortunately, the school used a system that was very tricky, and didn't allow pupils to write. Disappointed with alternatives, Louis began to develop his own system.

When he shared his invention four years later, his teachers and classmates were amazed - his system used just six dots in a tiny space that fit under his fingertip, and included a complete alphabet, with punctuation marks, numbers and mathematical symbols. It took many years for his system to be widely used, but little by little it spread across the world and came to be known as Braille. Today, Braille is used by more than six million people and there are codes for more than 133 languages. Little People, BIG DREAMS Louis Braille features:Quirky and stylish illustrationsA biographical timeline, complete with historical photos and a detailed profile Recommendations for further readingLittle People, BIG DREAMS is the bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists.

All of them achieved incredible things, but each began life as a child with a dream.
