Our heartfelt thanks goes to the generous donors and volunteers who make these low prices possible (and donations are always welcome!) PRIVACY: Seedlings does not rent, sell, or exchange its mailing lists with any organization or individual, nor will we call you unless we have a question. PRODUCTION: We use computers to help transcribe our books into braille and embossers to print them. All books (except the board books) are then bound using plastic combs and covers.

SEEDLINGS' HISTORY: In 1984, Debra Bonde established Seedlings Braille Books for Children as a non-profit organization because she found that braille materials were scarce and expensive to purchase. Her goals were to increase the availability and lower the cost of braille books for children in order to promote their literacy skills and their love of reading. Since then, Seedlings has placed over 310,000 braille books into the hands of children across the U.S., Canada, and other countries as well! If you are ever in the Detroit area, and would like to visit, please call! The office is located at 14151 Farmington Road in Livonia, MI (near the corner of Farmington and Schoolcraft Roads).
