Looking for a braille book with a story that’s more sweet than spooky this Halloween season? 🎃

Boo is the littlest pumpkin with a big fear of the dark. But when she meets a little boy who shares his fears, Boo realises that perhaps Halloween and the dark aren't quite as scary as she thought.

The Pumpkin Who was Afraid of the Dark by Michelle Robinson and Mike Byrne has been adapted to include braille on clear interleaved sheets so the text and images can be seen underneath, creating an accessible version that can be enjoyed by all!

You can purchase a copy of this spooktacular book in both Grade 1 and Grade 2 braille at RNIB Shop.
