(3) K-3 Illustrated by Boris Kulikov. This first-person picture-book biography imagines (sometimes more successfully than others) what it felt like to be young Louis Braille, beginning with the accident at age three that slowly blinded him and ending with his invention, at fifteen, of the ingenious six-cell raised-dot reading and writing system for the blind. Louis's compelling story is told in a lively and intimate text, abetted by warm mixed-media illustrations.
