From afar, it looks like any other ABC picture book — the 'A for apple, B for ball' variety that children use to learn the alphabets from. But on a closer look, or touch rather, we see how Tactabet (Tactile + Alphabet) is different. Along with Roman text, each alphabet is written with bubble-like dots of the Braille script, and corresponds to cute, 3D-like palpable images of a train, a bird's nest, giraffe and a monkey — all with an aim to enable learning among the visually impaired as well as those with low vision.
