Uncontracted English braille books with a combination of braille and scented graphics for a multi-sensory experience.
Welcome to Bess's bookstore ! I created Bess and Friends Children's Braille Books for children to have fun learning about different fun foods, fruits and flowers while reading a short poem and matching each with scented scratch and sniff graphics. Each multi-sensory book contains 10 rhyming pages and each page features a different scent, for example: popcorn, hot dog, pizza, lavender, rose, lily, orange, lemon, and grape. The actual foods can be introduced with each page, so that children with visual impairments are able to experience the real flavors. In the “Fruity Fruit” book, there are individual braille dots for each fruit for children to count off from 1 to 10.
These books have large print and brightly colored illustrations, as well as scented graphics designed for young children who are blind or visually impaired to have fun learning about different kinds of foods, flowers and fruits. The unique combination of braille with matching scented graphics help to make the learning process fun and interesting! Adult supervision and guidance is recommended to help the children navigate each scent located within the graphics on each page. Each book measures 8.5 x 11 and is spiral bound, so it lays completely flat for more comfortable reading. Each book is printed on acid free paper in the United States of America.

Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 - June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor Of Arts degree.
Her June 27 birthday is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in Pennsylvania.

The story of Helen and her teacher, Anne Sullivan, was made famous by Helen's autobiography, The Story of My Life, and its adaptations for film and stage, The Miracle Worker. Her birthplace in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, is now a museum and sponsors an annual "Helen Keller Day."
