For over 30 years, French publishing house Les Doigts Qui Rêvent (LDQR) has been a pioneer in creating tactile books for children with visual impairments.

Celebrated across Europe and around the world for their accessible design and artistic integrity, LDQR’s books demonstrate how inclusive publishing can open up new possibilities for storytelling, creativity and participation.

Solène Négrerie, Creative Lead at LDQR, will be leading a workshop as part of day 2 at the Accessible Book & Story Festival. Join Solène for an inspiring session exploring new ways of thinking about inclusive books and stories. Discover how tactile and accessible approaches can challenge conventions and enrich the experience of reading for everyone.
