Sincere and good stories were written in the war. Their author is veteran of ATU, writer Sergey Loskot. Fairytales are printed in Braille. The first copies were handed over to the Odessa Special Boarding School No. 93.

Ten-year-old Katya with small fingers reads a book printed in Braille. At the girl atrophy of an optic nerve, therefore she does not see since the childhood. A fairy world for her is a system of relief points. Adapt books for blind children - the task is quite complex, say the authors of the project. But, they admit, there is someone to try for.

"Increased line spacing, so that a visually impaired child can also take and read. Parents can also take this book home, and if the child reads Braille and gets confused, parents can take, look and suggest, "said Olesya Perepechenko, executive director of the public organization" Suchadny Poglyad ".

Two children's books, printed in Braille, handed over to special boarding school No. 93. The author of fairy tales, Sergey Loskot, served in the 72nd mechanized brigade, fought near Mariupol, then got to the hospital and again returned to the ATU zone. He says he began to write books, so as not to lose himself.

"Just to go crazy, I started writing fairy tales. I am from the first wave, the 72nd brigade, and went through Russia, surrounded, well, now I became a storyteller, "- said the writer Sergei Loskot.

Sergey is a Russian, therefore he writes in his native language. Before adapting the text to Braille, the book was translated into Ukrainian.

"We worked with him for two months. I can technically do it very quickly, technically it can be done, but it took time for me to convey the style, sense and mood and atmosphere that prevails in this fairy tale, "said the translator Vera Bigont.

A total of 15 copies of fairytales printed in Braille. Two of them will remain in Odessa, the rest will be distributed among other boarding schools of Ukraine.
