The Invisible Story

The invisible story lies hidden in the darkest corner of the library. It has never been read . When a blind reader runs her fingertips over its white pages, it is astonished by what it finds out.

The Invisible Story is a book about a book which no one picks up, and then a blind girl slips them off the shelf and starts to feel it. I think this is a lovely book because it explores Braille, and how a book feels as if it is left out. My favourite illustration would be the colour flowing out of the book, because it shows that it is not invisible, that it does have a story. I would recommend this to anyone above 5, and rate it 7/10.

The Invisible Story is about a girl who finds a book that is written in Braille. The book believes its pages are blank so it doesn’t want to be read. I like how the pictures look as if they are 3D and make me want to touch them. This is an amazing book that I would rate 9/10. I would recommend this book to anyone above the age of 4.

I really loved "The Invisible Story". It was so different to all the other books I have read, mostly due to the lack of colour but it did leave a lasting impression on me. I thought it was great and gave it 9/10.

The Invisible Story is all about a book who believes all its pages are blank and so does not want to be read. Everyone ordinary who visits the library is unable to see the book, so the book realises it’s invisible. But one day, a little girl arrives at the library. But she is no ordinary girl, she is blind. She scans the entire library for something to read, but nothing. She is about to leave when she is running her fingertips over something and feels raised dots in a pattern. She pulls out the book and is about to start reading the braille when the story cries out ‘Please don’t read me!’, but in the end the book lets her read it. Hidden inside this children’s picture book is the complicated concept of Braille, raised dots on a page, designed for blind people to read. I personally liked the front cover, with the colourful, swirling animals on the dull, plain white background, which also continues throughout the rest of the book, portraying a sense of happiness, joy and liveliness. I rate this book 8/10, for readers over the age of 6.

The world is full of stories , some as long as lizards others, so short they never make it to the end, but the invisible story is unlike any of these stories, because no one ever reads it. This is a heartwarming story of a book which you cant read with you eyes but with your fingers.I like this book alot because its ok to be different and it raises awareness about braille. I rate this⭐⭐⭐⭐ and would recommend it to anyone over the age of 7

The Invisible Story is a story that proves that whoever you can still read. At the start of the book a girl goes to a library and picks up a book that is written in braille , but as the girl tries to read , the story says that it doesn't want to be read. I love how the illustrations in this book stick out as if they were 3D. This really makes me feel like I was transported into the book. Overall I would rate this book a 7/10 and recommend it for 3+.

It was such a sweet illustrated book. i really liked it. Even though the majority of books are filled with colours and words flowing endlessly some books need to also have blank pages filled with invisible joys that could only be read through the fingertips. I love how the book thought it was nothing but the right person was just needed to prove that thought wrong! I enjoyed this book, it was so nice it really filled me with joy knowing that even though some people may not have the ability to see they still have the super power none of us have! reading with their fingertips. It sounds so mind blowing! I loved this book a lot! :)

The Invisible Story is about a little girl who went to a library to find a book written in bradlie but when she goes to pick up the book it feels like the book doesn't want to be read. The soft pictures made me feel very calm, and when the blind little girl touched the book it felt like the book came back to life. I would recommend this book to people who are 3+. 7/10.

Adam

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a great book about a blind girl in a library. I really like how the illustrations look 3D and how it made me touch the page just to check if it was only paper. My favourite part of the book is probably where the most popular book characters are comparing themselves and having a competition on who is the best. The effect of how she uses scrunched up paper on them makes them look so bold and fun to look at. My only complaint is that the front cover could stand out more. This is a brilliant book and I rate it 9.5/10.

Alex

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a fantastic book about braille. The pictures were fantastic. You just want to make you touch them and the colours for the flying creatures and swerles were sublime. My favourite part is the picture of the braille because it attracts you to try and touch it, and it tells a story that braille is helpful for many people. I would recommend this book for all ages because you need to learn about braille at some point in your life. I rate this book a solid 7.5/10.

Sebastian

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The invisible story is a fictional picture book about a library with one book that nobody reads. I really liked the way she captured the story so well using mostly white. My favorite part was when the blind girl started reading the book using her fingers as it was braille.I would recommend it for visually impaired people and kids aged 3-11. I would also rate it 7/10 because I didn’t love the style.

Noah

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This book is about a person who feels like he’s a ghost since everyone walks past him and he says to himself “I'm just a ghost, nobody can see me.” There was also this girl who said why are there blank pages and then she felt it and learned the language braille. I also really liked this because the illustrations look 3d. I would recommend this book to someone who likes stuff about braille. I rate this book a 8/10.

Ashar

Latymer Prep Shadowers

I quite liked this book because the use of the illustrations were outstanding. There was a girl who unleashed dragons. As the tome collected dust in a school library. The magical dragons were amazing because they had these colourful bodies. The book was so creative because it would have this effect where it looked 3D and you wanted to touch it. I would recommend this book to people over 2 and I would rate this book a 8/10.

Zaahed

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The invisible story is about a girl going through an old house and she is blind.I like this story because it invites people to touch the pages of the book because the paper looks like it has cut-outs and braille but it doesn’t. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 7. I rate this book a 8/10 because I really liked the cut-outs.

Rhys

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is about a blind person going to find a book. The book tells you how not all stories have to be seen with your eyes. I love the use of cutouts and how everything is white and dull but the stories are bright and colourful. Overall I think this book is for all ages and rate it a 7/10.

Liberty

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a well illustrated book about a blind girl who comes to a public library looking for a book for blind people printed in braille. I like the use of full bleed and vibrant colours for the books except the ‘invisible story’ which is illustrated using bland colours. I also like the use of watercolours to add vibrancy to the book. I would recommend this book to ages 3+ and 4 stars.

Caleb

Bramcote College Library

Invisible Story is about a blind person who goes to a library to choose a book. There is a braille book who thinks if it gets chosen it will die. The person rolls her hand along all of the books to read the title. She feels that book and picks it up. The book says please don’t read me otherwise I will die she replies that is not true I promise. She reads it and the magic of the whole book is seen. I like this book because it shows that blind people can do things that other people can do as well. I also like the illustrations when she opens the book and all the colours burst out of it. I rate this book an eight out of ten because it shows that a braille book has the same magic as any other book. I recommend this book for five year olds and over so they know that being blind is ok and not bad.

Arkady

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is about a little girl who is blind, so she can not read like everyone else does. She goes to a library and she finds a book perfect for her. A book nobody else can see apart from her. The illustrator of this story, Wen Hsu Chen, perfectly created the image of the girl not being able to see the words, but with braille she can feel the words. This book is a lovely story about disabilities and reading. I love the illustrations, as they are very clever. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 6 and would rate this book a 8.4/10!

Bella

Latymer Prep Shadowers

I think this book is very lovely because it is plain and the illustrator uses the colourful foil in places so it stands out. I think the story is really interesting because people think there is no story in the book then a blind girl comes to the library and she picks a book with braille. I think the book is saying even if you are blind you can still read and enjoy books. I would rate this book 8.5 out of 10 and for 3 plus.

Camilla

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This book is about a braille book that not many people use because not many blind people come into libraries. When a blind girl picks up the book feels like it does not want to be read. It is like all of the colours are in your mind like you are imagining it. I love how the illustrations are white but are fun and exciting. I recommend this book for 6-13 year olds. I rate this book a 7.5/10.

Avik

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is about a story that never gets read.In my opinion, the book itself is very original and fun because of the cut-outs and the drawings of the book characters. The story feels left out since nobody reads it and you can see that in the drawings because it is always in the background wishing to be a story that was popular and read frequently. But then the book figures out that it is a braille book when somebody reads it. The story then listens closely to hear what it is about which you can see in the drawings since it is asking questions to the little girl who is reading it. I would rate this book 7/10 and I would recommend this book for ages 5+.

Jude

Latymer Prep Shadowers

A beautiful story about equity and the importance of Braille. I think the cutouts are a really good touch, considering the book is about Braille, because it makes the reader want to touch the page. I love how the books are portrayed as enclosures for a dazzling story that is fighting tooth and nail to escape its stronghold. I think it best for under the age of 18, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from reading it, 8/10.

Alex

The Invisible Story is a wonderful book about a book in a library that is hardly ever seen until now a blind girl reaches up and picks the book off the shelf much to the books will. The girl finds so many interesting things in the book but the book thinks its pages are blank. In fact the pages are covered in many little raised dots which are braille. I really like the images in the books because of how the book is mostly white and 3D but there is always a flicker of colour throughout the book. I would recommend this book for 4 to 8 years old but others can read it. I would rate this book 7 out of 10 and 3 stars .

Miraya

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This book is magical and quiet. It's about a blind girl who finds a book and imagines it in her own way. The pictures use paper cuttings and soft colours, and it makes you feel like you're touching the story. I love how the pictures show what she feels and not just what she sees. My favourite bit is when the colours swirl around her and you can see how her world feels. I rate it 8/10 for the illustrations because they are gentle but strong. It’s good for ages 6 and up because it teaches people about disabilities.

Nikolai

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is an amazing book about how much books can change people. I really liked how the illustrations had so much colour and how the illustrator captured every single detail. I found it really impressive how Wen Hsu Chen managed to do a lot of illustrations nearly only using white yet they did not feel at all boring. I also really liked how the only person that could read the story was the blind person because the story was written in braille.

Hugh

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a touching book focusing on the awareness of blind people and Braille. My favourite feature is how she uses water colour to fill up the blankness of the page. These watercolours also combine with paper cutting which makes it unique. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested to learn more about braille and rate it 7.5 out of 10

Ermis

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a wonderful book that focuses on a book that is written in braille, so it hides the story, making it invisible. I love how Wen Hsu Chen uses white throughout the whole book and since everything is white with only black outlines, it feels like the pages are invisible which really matches the invisible theme of the book. Everything is white except for the strange spirit-like creatures and magic from the books in the library. One of my favourite pages is when the girl picks up the book written in braille and begins reading it. Her hands just look so real and they flow on the page and the braille looks 3D so you just want to feel it. I love how this book tells me that everyone is different and so are books, they are different in their own way, such as the book in the girl's hand is in braille while all the other books are in words. I would rate this book an 8/10 and I recommend it for children over the age of 5.

Paris

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This Book is illustrated by Wen Hsu Chen. This book is about a girl who is blind and how she relies on her other scenes to allow her to understand things and move around.Wen has cleverly drawn the images to make them almost look 3D. Whenever you look at the drawings it almost makes you want to try and feel the images that are in the book. I recommend this book to all ages as it tells a different story to everyone.I rate this book a 8.3/10

Aria

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a great book where it shows you that anyone can read books, blind or not. This book talks about braille, which is how blind people read and write. In this book, there’s a book in a library with braille, but it’s never been seen or read. When the girl takes it out, the book was shy and nervous. I think this book is very important to everyone because it really shows people what it’s like to be blind, and I think this book is suitable for ages 7+, but everyone can read it! For me, I rate this book 7.7/10!

Iris

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This book is very enjoyable and easy to understand. It talks about how a book feels really sad since it is plain unlike having words until a girl picks up the book and reads it in braille. It makes the books feel accepted and happy. Near the end, it talks about the invention of braille and its impact!

ST PAULS STARS

The Invisible Story is a great book as it doesn’t focus on colour, but plain white. The white shows that it could be a dull library and it really expresses the pictures. The white looks like sculptures and this is unique to this book. The colourful illustrations are like they are crumbled up like paper. Wen Hsu Chen really made this book special and stand out from the other books. My favourite page is where the girl picks up the book. I would recommend this book to curious readers about ages 5-7. I rate this book a solid 9/10.

Zeynep

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is a really good book that I recommend for all ages. I really like how the illustrations look like scrunched up tissue paper and the book shelves look like paper or card cut out to look like pictures. My favourite part of the book is where the characters are comparing themselves and having a competition on who is the best. I like this because I think that all of the coloured tissue paper looks so good together. I also like how all of the pages are half-bleeds as I think that the colours are so bold and clear on the white. I think that this is a brilliant book and I rate it 10/10.

Otto

Latymer Prep Shadowers

I really like this book because it is about a book that wants to be like the other great fairy tales on the shelf but he will never be because he thinks his pages are blank. Until a blind girl comes along and runs her fingers on the spines and finds this book. Suddenly the book talks to her and says don't read me because my pages are blank. But in fact the pages are written in braille. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 and for children over 6.

Ettore

Latymer Prep Shadowers

I think Invisible Story is a great book because it shows people how it is to be blind. It also spreads awareness about braille. The Invisible Story shows that you don’t have to be blind in order to read a book. I think children from 8+ should read this book to know about braille. I rate this book ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 10!

Ailin

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is about a braille book that has never been read because not many blind people come into libraries. When a blind girl picks up the book, the book is very scared and acts as if it isn’t meant to be read. The illustrations almost jump out of the book and seep out creating some colour in a white book. Cut out and watercolour really shine in this book and show that the strongest colours are in your imagination. This book helps people understand braille and creates empathy to those that are blind. For me, this book is a 8/10.

Isaac

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Invisible Story is an amazing book. I love how Wen uses the book to show how the book that was found in the library by the child got really embarrassed when the book said it had nothing in it, but the child was blind and the book really helped her read the story through Braille. Wen really showed the importance of Braille, and really shows to any reader how important Braille really is. I think this book is aimed for 3-7 year olds, but anyone can read and enjoy this book. I really liked this book, so I will rate this book a solid 8/10.

Leia

Latymer Prep Shadowers

It is about an invisible storybook in a corner of a library. I did not like the book because it was not really colourful. The illustrations show the grand room and a girl. They are made of cut paper. They’re very neat. My favourite part is where the children walk past, it is very peaceful. I would recommend it to a young child who couldn’t see and someone could read it to them.

The book is about a story book which has never been read before. We get to find out what the book thinks and he is scared of being read because he feels he is diffrent but still wants a reader. I love the story bacause it is all about going for things even when you are scared and acknowledging how things are special in their own way. The illustrations are really pretty. The pictures are tottally white and you think they are textured, but when you touch them, you realise they aren't!!! I love the contrast with the colourful elements, like a collage. My favourite part is when the little girl, who is blind, discovers the Braille in the book. I would absolutely recommend it because it is very pretty and fun to read.

I like how detailed the front cover is but in terms of the actual story, it feels as if it ends too soon. If you added a story mountain layout it would have been better but other than that I love the illustration and the message!

Eliza

TLA Readers

The illustrations were quite extravagant and unique, which kept me thoroughly engaged with the themes presented. The moral of the story was also very heartwarming, however the plot really just lacked anything that made the process of reading it fun or of substance.

Alfie

TLA Readers

This was such a wonderful book! It starts off with a story that nobody reads, but it turns out it's a book written in Braille. A blind girl helps the story discover that it isn't invisible or blank at all! It is just slightly different from other stories. It's such an empowering book about celebrating differences. I loved how there was a little backstory on Braille at the back of the book too. I think this was a great story and will be loved by many people in the future.

Clara

Sheringdale Page Turners

This book has a strong attachment to people with blindness, as different views of a blind person reading could be seen quite pointless to others. This book shows people who might not know much or anything about braille that reading can still be something enjoyable for blind people. The design of the book is unique, the detailed art style linking to the subject and point of the book. The 3d like design comes back to the subject of braille which overall makes everything link together, overall i found this book very enjoyable to read and would definitely recommend it to others.

This is about a girl who found a book that was blank and I like it a lot. I liked the illustrations because of the patterns. My favourite part was when the girl found the book and read it. It was a blind girl and the book is not blank, it is in Braille. I would choose it because of the patterns.

Quinn

Sandroyd Bookivores

This book is about a book in a library. The book thinks his pages are blank but they are written in Braille, a reading system for blind people. A little girl reads the book, showing the book that every story is different. I love the story because it is told from the books' point of view, not the reader! The illustrations are made to look like a paper cut, and the coulours look like water colours. I like the illustrations because they have lots of details. My favourite part is when the book discovers that it was written in Braille, and there fore his pages weren't blank but had a story to tell. I would recommend this book to kids more than adults. I am pretty sure that whoever reads this book will enjoy it!

Emilio

Sandroyd Bookivores

I feel like the illustrations have a minimalist style, but they were still really beautiful and helped tell the story. The whole book was practically just white, though that made the vibrant “tissue paper” bits stand out a lot!

Eunice

Sale High Readers

This book is very heartfelt, emotional and quite amazingly sad (in a good way). I've always been moved by Braille, and this fabulous book shows how isolated blind people can feel and how many people go through that every day. This book is a must-read!

AE Shadow-readers

I really enjoyed reading ‘The Invisible Story’ because the pictures look 3D and the stories look like flowers have been pressed onto a design to make them! Adding onto that, the backgrounds look card and like someone has actually made them! The drawings are so sweet and colourful they make me smile. I love how on page 18 there’s a simile: ‘The girl laughed, a laugh that was as bright as a butterfly.’, then on page 17 (the page before), a butterfly flies out the book representing the simile! The designs are decorative, for example, on the front cover: birds, flowers and swirls all have different colours and moods. The birds, green and happy, the flowers, purple and sad or bouncy and the swirls, red and angry! The illustrations make me imagine: stories all chatting and having fun at a party or having fun at a party or having a debate on who’s the more popular book! I feel there is a combination of the images being static and them moving about. On page 1 how can you not believe that the pictures are moving about or dancing in the air! by Amy

The Invisible Story, by Jaime Gamboa and illustrated by Wen Hsu Chen, is a beautiful book that celebrates the strength of Braille and the importance of inclusive storytelling. The book tells the story of an seemingly blank book that, when touched, reveals its invisible story through raised dots. Chen’s complex paper-cut and watercolor artwork illustrates the story, highlighting reading as a tactile experience in all its beauty. The book both introduces young readers to Braille and honors the value of all forms of storytelling, provoking tender emotions for Braille readers and a fine way of teaching non-Braille readers about Braille.

The invisible story is a book that has a lot of meaning. There is a book in a library that is always neglected by all of the children. Then a girl comes and picks up the book. The book says that she should read another book in the library. The book said it had no pictures or words but the girl reads the book anyway and the book realises it was different in another way. It was for the blind. I love this story because it shows that everyone is different but everyone belongs. I would recommend this book to people who stand out.

Isla

Sandroyd Bookivores

This book is about a girl who is blind. She is in a library and everyone is just walking past this one book. She is running her hands across the stories to feel if any of them have braille on them (braille is a type of alphabet specifically for blind people). There is one book in the library that thinks it is forgotten just because it is written in braille and has no words but she decides to read it and she really likes it . My favourite part was when the girl actually picked the book up as it was not feeling forgotten.

This is a touching book and inspiring. I think people who are blind would like this book since it tells people about how they understand things. I loved how the author expressed how the book is understood as empty since it is written on braille not with written words. 100% recommend.

Emina

Sheringdale Page Turners

The Invisible Story is a great book. I think this because I love the fact that it describes braille (a form of dots and lines for a non-sighted person to read) and I like the message behind the story. I rate this book a 9.5 out of 10. I recommend this book to people who are interested in learning about braille.

Aarav

Bispham Bookworms

It is about an invisible book which a girl reads with her hands we like it a bit because it is creative. It looks 3D but it is not and the colour is like cotton we like the illustrations. Our favourite bit was when the girls read the book. We do recommend it because at the end it talks about books for blind people.

Xander and Max

Sandroyd Bookivores

I feel like this book is a very heart warming book and blind people would really like it as there isn't many pictures and instead in the book there is a bit where blind people can there finger on it and see what it says so I really like that but my favourite bit is when the girl grabs the book but then the book starts speaking telling her to not read it but she opens the book and finds out its for blind people. Overall I rate this book a 4/5.

Rene

Sheringdale Page Turners

This book includes a girl who is visually impaired, which is very unique and fresh. The illustrations describe how people may feel being blind and how the world may seem like a blank screen to them. I would say this book is inclusive and amazing but if the author had raised some of the images or given us some braille text, I think this book would've stood out even more to me. Just wanted to feel the texture and get a sense of what the girl is feeling when she touches the book for the first time.

The Invisible Story was fabulous! I particularly loved how the book highlighted braille and told the story in a really sensitive way. I was amazed at the attention to detail and the technique of paper cutting required to showcase this story. Some pages were full of colour and mystery. This book is really wonderful.

The Invisible story is a very interesting book with a great moral. The initial start of the story was confusing but as you progress into the story it does get a lot better. And that's when you also get the main point and moral of the story, and illustrations are a big part in this story as it gives the reader a lot more information on the moral and in general just makes it more interesting, and fun. So overall this story is a very eye catching one because of its colourful illustrations and deep meaning.

Aaron

Academy Book Gurus

The Invisible Story is a book that shows you how everyone in the world is different and and it is fine to be who you are. They've described this brilliantly.

Sean

This started as a story of fear that then turned into a story of understanding. It showed that everyone is different but that we are all human beings.

Anton

The colors tell the story well and i agree with the age its aimed at because the illustrations work well to help the imagination of a young child. I would recommend this to my family with young children because its a great read that tells the story of how anyone can enjoy reading if they thought it wasn't for them. I really liked how the book was invisible to start with and then the magic of the book and the magic of reading and finding the right book for you was developed and told.

The invisible story is not what I expected it to be about which I was wrong to do (don't judge a book by it's cover). This lovely book about a lonely book not to be found and not to be read and even ashamed of itself until that little girl came along... That little girl taught the book and me that nothing is really empty, you just have to look deeper even if its scary. The illustrations are cleverly done expressing the characters from books and even the readers emotions. Perfect for the age group it's written for - an eye opener for every reader.

The invisible story is about a book that is hidden because it has no colours and it’s at the back of a bookshelf and no one reads at but it’s in braille and a blind girl reads it. It’s good and I would recommend the book to KS2 person. I would like it if it had braille and I could touch it

Invisible It’s okay because it’s about a lonely book in the corner by a blind girl but nobody likes it because it has only got braille i would recomend this to KS2 and KS1

This book allows the reader to explore their own reasons as to why the book has never been read, I found the reason why to be wonderful! It shows the true power of reading and stories – the magic of each story and how we don’t just read with our eyes but truly ‘feel’ a story. It’s a unique and beautiful way to introduce the topic of Braille and sight impairment to young children and this is represented in Wen Hsu Chen’s watercolour paper cuttings.
