What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a large-print edition of 'Ruby Bridges Goes to School,' the children's picture book about the civil rights icon, adapted by APH for students with low vision or blindness. Large-print formats from APH use high-contrast text and enlarged fonts that make reading accessible for children who struggle with standard print size — this version is also listed in the Louis database, APH's catalog of accessible materials for students with visual impairments. It's intended for school-age children receiving vision services, and teachers or TVIs (teachers of visually impaired students) typically order it through Federal Quota funds allocated per qualifying student. Federal Quota eligibility means the cost can often be covered through state quota accounts rather than out of pocket, which is worth confirming with your state's APH ex officio trustee before purchasing.
