BOOKS
Overview
BleeBooks are deaf-friendly picture books and readers that make reading simple, visual, and fun. Each book is designed to help children understand fast, build vocabulary, and enjoy the habit of reading.
BleeBooks began during the pandemic, when deaf children were isolated at home and needed learning that was simple, engaging, and family-friendly. We created clear, visual books that spark curiosity and make it easy for parents and siblings to read together. Since then, more than 5,000 children across Maharashtra have received BleeBooks kits delivered to their homes—keeping learning alive and families connected.
