What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 15, 2026
This is the braille edition of 'Light a Single Candle,' a novel by Barbara Kehoe about a teenager who loses her vision and navigates high school life — a story frequently used in vision loss education and literary curricula for students who are blind or have low vision. It's a full-length braille book intended for braille readers, produced and distributed by APH (American Printing House for the Blind). At 8 lbs, this is a multi-volume braille set, which is typical for full-length novels transcribed into contracted braille. This is a standalone reading item — no technology required — but students will need braille literacy skills to use it independently. Federal Quota funds are available for eligible students, which is the primary funding pathway for APH materials in U.S. school programs.
