About Our Braille Books The Current Braille Code Unified English Braille (UEB) In November 2012, the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) voted to adopt the Unified English Braille Code (UEB) as the official code for the United States. We then joined several other countries who adopted UEB before us. The new code was implemented in the U.S. on January 4, 2016 and since then, we have converted over 800 of our books to UEB, making Seedlings a leader in UEB books for children. We started with our books for younger children and have worked our way up to our popular big books for older children and teens. Some of the bigger books are still be available in the old code (EBAE), and they are listed on our website (seedlings.org). For more information on UEB see: www.brailleauthority.org Just as we have in the past, the Seedlings staff will continue to work hard to give you high-quality, low-cost children’s books in braille! Uncontracted vs Contracted Braille Uncontracted Braille is the simplest form of braille. It consists of a symbol for each letter of the alphabet and a few for punctuation. In Contracted Braille, several dozen special symbols (contractions and short forms) were added to make the books shorter and faster to read. Our Commitment to Diversity From the beginning, Seedlings’ work has always been based on a belief in the value, dignity, and equitable rights of all people. Our mission prioritizes opportunities and education for children with vision loss, but we also strive to recognize and uplift the strengths and uniqueness found across human diversity. An important step in this commitment is the transcription of relevant, high quality children’s literature that promotes equitable themes like peace and justice with positive portrayals of people from different backgrounds, identities, ethnicities, and abilities. We pledge to continue to highlight and promote books that foster understanding, and to research and add more diverse, educational titles. Seedlings wholeheartedly believes these books have the power to place the proper “seeds” into the hands of children, helping them flourish and grow into understanding, capable, and empowered people. Coming Fall 2023 – the new Seedlings website!
