Living Paintings is the only charity in the UK that designs, creates and publishes tactile and audio books for blind and partially sighted people. Our Touch to See books are available completely free of charge through our postal and online library.

Story

Elmer fans will be stomping to bookshops on 6th September 2018 to get their copy of David McKee’s latest book, Elmer’s Walk. But what if you’re visually impaired? How do you enjoy this wonderful new story? Well, this is where Living Paintings’ free library of tactile books for blind children come in.

We want to make sure no blind or partially sighted child misses out by co-publishing a Touch to See version of Elmer’s Walk on the very same day! Our uniquely adapted books include braille and colourful tactile pictures bound into the original published book, accompanied by engaging audio descriptions with sound effects and celebrity voices!
