Press Pack: How books are helping blind children experience stories through touch

A good book can transport you into exciting new worlds.

One charity is giving blind and partially sighted people the opportunity to experience the joys of reading through touch.

With the help of volunteers, Living Paintings has turned lots of stories into tactile books, which have raised images so children can feel the illustrations.

The books also have braille and come with audio descriptions which describe the images.

This helps children build detailed pictures of what they're reading in their minds.
