I’m a Lutheran: Debra J. Bonde

I founded Seedlings Braille Books for Children 35 years ago because I heard that braille books for children were scarce and expensive (more than $100 for a Hardy Boys book, for example). This tugged at my heart and started me on the path to making free and low-cost braille books for children. We now produce about 35,000 books per year and make three types: Print-Braille-and-Picture books for toddlers and preschoolers, Print-and-Braille Easy-Readers for beginning readers, and braille books as big as The Hunger Games for teens and young adults. The best part is that, thanks to generous grants and donations, we’ve been able to keep the cost to an average of just $10 per book. Read the full story in Living Lutheran »
