once, a blind girl asked someone who could see: ‘what colour is the wind?’
a few days ago, we launched the book 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬, which will be available at the attic of the
@12_15_reading_room . You can also order the book from our online bookshop. To those who attended, we extend our gratitude!
we hope that more hands will read this book soon, at events and fairs, and in other bookshops.
due to circumstances beyond our control, if you wish to order a copy of the book, you will simply need to wait a while, as we are making this book by hand, dot by dot... it’s as simple as ordering and we will make it for you...
in summer, we also plan to offer you the possibility to purchase a book made by Braille printers with some hand embossing, so you will be able to choose...
