About Inside Ability Books

                 

 VIEW FULL COLLECTION HERE

Inside Ability Books®   is the FIRST children's book company of its kind providing large print and high contrast illustrated picture books to accommodate low vision kids and parents who have difficulty reading standard sized text.  Vision loss is a spectrum and each person's access needs to printed material will differ.

Inside Ability Books® creates children's picture books  in a format that aims to address barriers related to small print or low contrast reading material. Our books allow Caregivers who experience these challenges to more comfortably participate in story time bonding.  Additionally, children who have these same visual barriers may also follow along more easily to learn the words on the page.

Please stay tuned here and on our Instagram for updates regarding new releases!

Special Thanks

On May 12th 2022, Inside Ability Books launched with a 45-day kickstarter.com book pre-sale campaign to fund our launch and 1st book release.

We reached our funding goal over a week ahead of schedule on June 15th!

THANKS to all who supported and shared this accessible print storybook initiative
the first ever printing of the books arrived promptly on June 26th and pre-sale copies went out shortly thereafter. 

To all those who backed the campaign:

With warm and sincere gratitude I THANK YOU for supporting the Inside Ability Books launch. You can feel confident knowing you have  contributed to a great organization with high hopes of accommodating  countless low vision caregivers and early readers to participate more comfortably in story time bonding/learning.  Your purchase and or donation funded sttartup costs which include the upfront cost of book design and manufacturing of bulk inventory. As well as, press  and advertisements targeted at this niche  (but growing) audience. This inclusive product will give those most underserved by the children's storybook market options and will provide awareness in households who do not experience these challenges. The more that diverse human experiences are shared openly the more inclusive society becomes as a whole.

Best wishes and more power to your purpose!
Krystle
