MEET THE

PROJECT

Sightly

Sightly aims to reimagine storytelling for visually impaired children through the use of embroidered tactile graphics and a reusable spine. The book helps visually impaired children learn braille, teaches behavioral cues to aid in social development, and encourages children to partake in the joy, wonder, and creativity of youth.
