Listen and feel along to Supertato!
Living Paintings books use touch and sound to help children who are blind or visually impaired access the visual world. Each book comes with an exclusive audio guide that describes all the illustrations and tactile pages in great detail so that young readers don’t miss out on any visual features that could help them access and understand the wonderful world of stories and learning.
Try for yourself!
Pick up our special accessible version of Supertato and click on the audio link below to use touch and sound to immerse yourself in the magic of the stories.

About our books
All of our books are handcrafted by our incredible volunteers. Illustrations from the story are recreated in tactile form and are accompanied by clear braille pages and exclusive audio descriptions that guide visually impaired children through all the illustrations and raised pictures to help them access stories and learning through touch and sound.
Our tactile books are available for free from our postal library for blind and visually impaired children across the UK.
