In this episode of At Your Fingertips: Braille Then and Now, host Chris reminisces about a childhood experience that shaped her sense of normalcy as a blind child. Her mother helped her label all 64 Crayola crayons in Braille, enabling her to enjoy coloring books despite being blind. This fostered a sense of inclusion and helped her feel like any other child. Chris also discusses modern tactile coloring books and Braille books, such as The Day the Crayons Quit, which can help children, both sighted and blind, learn and bond. Additionally, she shares recommendations for Braille coloring books from various sources, including MaxiAids and Tactile Vision Graphics. Chris also briefly mentions Unmute's new Braille tactile merchandise, inviting listeners to check out the latest gear on their website.
