Surfing in the Dark
Matt Formston’s new book, 'Surfing in the Dark', the first Australian children’s book created in both text and braille!
Matt’s story is one of resilience, passion, and breaking barriers. Blind since the age of five, he never let that stop him from chasing his dreams. From navigating childhood facing the anxieties of fitting in with his teammates, to becoming a professional parasurfer and world champion, Matt’s journey proves that anything is possible!
Written by John Dickson and illustrated by Philip Bunting for kids aged 7-12, this book features braille on every page, making it accessible for all readers and ensuring that blind and low-vision children can see themselves as the heroes of the story. – Braille Tactile Signs Australia.
