As a child, Louis Braille lost his sight in a tragic accident--but he was determined not to let that limit him.

The young Frenchman sought every opportunity to learn, and by the time he was a teenager, began experimenting with a new form of writing. Today, his system of raised dots is used by people with visual difficulties across the world.

Backmatter includes a timeline and author's note, as well as a page of letters and numerals in braille printing.
