«Louis Braille, l'enfant de la nuit» is Margaret Davidson's children's biography, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (104 pages, in French).
Louis Braille loses his sight at age three after an accident. He has a nearly normal childhood, but at school he hits a wall: he wants to learn to read and no system exists to allow it. The book tells how his determination led him to invent a reading and writing method that bears his name and transformed the education of the blind.
The original title is Louis Braille: The Boy Who Invented Books for the Blind. This French edition includes illustrations by André Dahan and a translation by Camille Fabien.
Recommended reading age: 6 to 9 years. Suitable for early readers interested in biographies and history.
