The Black Book of Colors
This unique book allows students to "feel" colours using their senses. Sighted students will understand what it is like to experience things through their sense of touch, taste, smell or hearing. The text provides an explanation of the colour while the corresponding page has the drawing. The raised blackline drawings on black paper allow students to touch a colour. Braille letters accompany the text so that the sighted reader can imagine what it is like to use Braille to read.

The artwork captures the feeling of the silence, the snow and the cold.
