Louis Braille was born near Paris, France in 1809. As a toddler he used to watch his father make shoes. One day, while his father was not watching, he picked up a sharp pointed tool for making holes in leather called an awl. The awl slipped, piercing his eye and damaging it beyond repair. The other eye became infected and before long Louis Braille was completely blind.

While studying in Paris, France, at the National Institute for the Blind Youth, he invented the Braille system of printing and writing for the blind. He was only 15 years old at the time. Later, he adapted the system to be used for music and mathematics. Though first published in 1829, it wasn’t until 1854 that his school officially adopted Braille’s system, two years after his death. In 1932 a standard Braille system for English-speaking people was agreed upon. It was improved upon in 1957.

The Braille system uses groups of raised dots on paper or other flat surfaces to stand for letters and numbers. Today, many Braille books are produced by computers.
