Greeting

Welcome to The World of Barrier-free Picture Book

Japanese children grow up in a rich reading environment. But as in many other countries, many children with disabilities cannot participate in the pleasures of reading, and books that they can enjoy are not to be found in bookstores or libraries. Children with disabilities are denied the joys of books not only because of their own disabilities, but also because of the barriers set up by books themselves. They need books with various reading supports that respond to special design, language, layout, and graphic needs and are also of good quality as literature and as art. Disabilities are of various types , so just one kind of book cannot address all the problems. But once we grasp an effective approach, we can make use of it in publication and reading activities.

In Japan there is no public support for books for children with disabilities, so the hurdles in their production and sale are overcome through the efforts of many dedicated people concerned.

In this HP, I want to introduce the Japanese work. The barrier-free picture books mean the books that we can enjoy with or without disabilities together ,or we can learn about the barrier itself trough them.
