An inspiring picture-book biography of Louis Braille--a blind boy so determined to read that he invented his own alphabet.**Winner of a Schneider Family Book Award ** Louis Braille was just five years old when he lost his sight. He was a clever boy, determined to live like everyone else, and what he wanted more than anything was to be able to read. Even at the school for the blind in Paris, there were no books for him. And so he invented his own alphabet--a whole new system for writing that could be read by touch. A system so ingenious that it is still used by the blind community today. Award-winning writer Jen Bryant tells Braille's inspiring story with a lively and accessible text, filled with the sounds, the smells, and the touch of Louis's world. Boris Kulikov's inspired paintings help readers to understand what Louis lost, and what he was determined to gain back through books. An author's note and additional resources at the end of the book complement the simple story and offer more information for parents and teachers. Praise for Six Dots:
"An inspiring look at a child inventor whose drive and intelligence changed to world--for the blind and sighted alike."--Kirkus Reviews "Even in a crowded field, Bryant's tightly focused work, cast in the fictionalized voice of Braille himself, is particularly distinguished."--Bulletin, starred review "This picture book biography strikes a perfect balance between the seriousness of Braille's life and the exuberance he projected out into the world." -- School Library Journal, starred review

This works!
I’ve got Rosacea and not only does this really calm down the redness it works well with my makeup. Doesn’t pill at all. Absorbs really well, no scent or at least I do not detect it. Does not irritate my skin.

The only option for reactive skin
I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin that breaks out in either a rash or acne with anything i try to put on it. This is the only lotion i can use. My sister is the same. Anytime i switch to something cheeper, i eventually come back to this!

FAKE! Caused burning stinging and pain. AVOID
Counterfeit product-avoid! Don’t buy it from here, get the actual product from Bioderma directly. I used this and it made my face sting, itch and turn a bright red. Then came the BURNING! After avoiding it for a week my face is finally healing. I didn’t notice the horrible packaging until it was too late—compare the photo of the product I got to the actual product from Bioderma and you’ll see the difference.
It is extremely unethical for a seller to send FAKE products that cause PAIN and redness all to make a dollar. Not cool.
