The Black Book of Colours

This is the book I recommended as Duffy in the school assembly.
Author: Menena Cottin

It’s about how a blind child perceive colours. Instead of seeing, he can feel, touch and smell them. This book is entirely made of black, except for the writing. It also includes Braille letters, which is a language made by using raised dots to represent each letter of the alphabet.

You can find this book in the library under sophisticated picture books in the fiction section.

Thanks for listening.

And remember it’s cool to read!

Holiday Reading #3 Recommendation

Title: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Author: Lewis Carroll
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy
I would recommend this book to Linda and Nesi.
1. Even though the language style is old, it is perfectly easy to understand.
2. The book is actually quite short. It took me just one day to finish it.
3. If you read the original version, it contains pictures to help understand the story better. Countless other retells have illustrations too.
