When Louis Braille was born in 1809,
he was a tiny baby and no one expected him to live.
But he did. He was an active, curious boy who was
always learning. When he was 5, he had an accident
that cost him his eyesight. Now blind but still
curious, Louis longed to find books that he could
read. He ended up going to a school for the blind in
Paris. The few books they had did not satisfy
Louis. He longed to find a way to write books that
blind children could read. Find out about how Louis
experimented with different ideas until he developed the
Braille alphabet that opened up reading to many blind
people all around the world.
