Free Programs

So children with vision loss can have some books at home!

Originally called “Anna’s Book Angel Project” in memory of Anna K. Bonde, this program has provided over 100,000 free braille books to children since 2002!

Each child with vision loss ages birth-21 in the U.S. and Canada can now receive one order of 5 free braille books from Seedlings per calendar year.

*This program is for children with vision loss ages birth-21 in the U.S. and Canada only. While we would love to provide free books to everyone, we must be good stewards of the grants and donations that fund this program which are intended only for children with vision loss ages birth-21.

You must place a new order for the child each calendar year.

To place your order, watch this tutorial video or follow the steps below:

1. Add the 5 titles of your choosing to your shopping cart. Only 1- or 2- volume books, please. Educational aids and gifts do not qualify.
2. In the cart, add the coupon code: BAP. This will add a Book Angel Program line to your cart.
3. Proceed to checkout.
4. Fill in the child’s name, age, and home address in the required fields at the top of the checkout page.
5. Unless otherwise noted, we will ship to the child’s address. If you would like the order sent elsewhere, please check the “Ship to a Different Address” box and provide a shipping address.
6. Place your order!

If you prefer, you may instead fill out this form and email, mail, or fax to Seedlings’ office. Form also available in Spanish, here.

Please note: Since Seedlings is a small nonprofit organization with limited resources, our 3- & 4-volume books are excluded from our free programs. Occasionally, some of our books go on back order. Seedlings will pick a replacement braille book(s) for you.
