What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 12, 2026
This is a large-print edition of Leo Lionni's classic picture book 'A Color of His Own,' adapted by the American Printing House for the Blind for children with low vision. The text and illustrations are reproduced at a significantly enlarged scale so kids who struggle to see standard print can follow along independently or with a reader. APH produces these large-print books specifically for students on Federal Quota — the funding mechanism through which schools for the blind and vision programs receive APH materials at no direct cost. This is a standalone physical book, ready to read without any additional equipment, though pairing it with good task lighting or a reading stand can make a real difference. Large-print formats work best for kids in the mild-to-moderate low vision range; students with more significant vision loss may need a braille edition or tactile version instead.
