Can you still remember the story that you liked to read? Or the story that was read to you? &nbsp;Mine was Go, Dog. Go! by P.D Eastman (just read it again after probably 15 years.. quite amusing!)<\/p>\n<p>When we first learned how to read, most of us were captivated by the images depicted by the illustrator. We used the vibrant pictures and colours to navigate our way through the story. &nbsp;It was often our vivid imagination, guided by the pictures, that transformed the story into a whole new adventure. It was only when we could actually read the story itself, that we understood the intended message of the author. This is the beauty of learning to read!<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;For children who are blind, the discovery of reading is not so easy, and in fact can be quite challenging.&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>For children who are blind, the discovery of reading is not so easy, and in fact can be quite challenging. Without the aid of an illustrated story, it is difficult for these children to engage with reading at all.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is where the Haptic Books for Blind Children steps in. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsv.org\/dbsv-in-english.html\">Deutscher Blinden- und Sehbehindertenverband (DBSV)<\/a> has an AMAZING project started to create interactive books for children who are blind or have impaired vision. The coolest thing is that myself and four other volunteers were invited to help with this process.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;The Haptic Book is completely interactive and sensory based.&nbsp; Children can feel the character&#8217;s hair, glasses, shoes and even handbags.&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsv.org\/uebersicht-tastbuecher.html\">The Haptic book is designed so that the child engages with something on every page<\/a>. It is completely interactive and sensory based.&nbsp; Children can feel the character&#8217;s hair, glasses, shoes and even handbags. They can smell different scents and experience the 3-D setting that pops up on the pages. Parents can also switch up the story line with removable sentences to keep things exciting. &nbsp;These books are a way for children to explore stories, even before learning to read brail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1163\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1163\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6705-min-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6705-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6705-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6705-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6705-min-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Haptic Books for children<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I cannot stress how much time, energy and love has been put into these books.

Her passion and commitment for these children is admirable.<\/p>\n<p>That afternoon was a beautiful reminder to remain passionate about what we do, and who we do it for. Working for others is always an opportunity for kindness and generosity. This kind of dedication was modeled so clearly by those in charge of these haptic books.
