Braille Books Children

I know there are lending libraries. I can't seem to find anyone who sells children's braille books in Australia. I'd like to be able to keep them rater than have to return them afterwards.

The Braille Bookstore is an online shop in Canada - I've included the Contact Us link so you can find out about delivery costs etc. to Australia.
Vision Australia is the primary supplier of lending materials for the vision impaired in Australia so it may be worthwhile contacting them to find out who they get their braille books from.

Have you tried the royal national institute for the blind. I'm sure you could find their website if you googled RNIB or maybe your local library can help.

Resubmitting an earlier question in a different category:

Thanks in advance for your answers.
My 10 year old child was just diagnosed with Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy. I have a Braille alphabet card for her, and she is trying to learn a letter a day, but I have no idea how to put words together, and certainly cannot teach her what I do not know.
When I spoke to the Braille Institute today, they said that they don't typically teach children Braille while they can still see, but I feel that there is no better time to teach them.
So I am wondering if any of you know of any good computer programs, or even a "Braille for Dummies" type of book (myself being the dummy) that my Daughter and I can both learn basic Braille from?
Or, if any of you are familiar with Braille through remote learning, please let me know about your experience with that. For some reason, I can't quite bring myself to trust something that lets me download valuable information for free!
Thanks again!

A good book is A Field Guide for the Sight-Impaired Reader: A Comprehensive Resource for Students, Teachers, and Librarians. There is also a pocket braille cube for learning letters that I've seen used in my classroom (There's an aide that works one on one with a boy with visual impairments) I believe you can get it on Amazon:

If she is in a public school system, chances are, there is a TVI (Teacher of the Visually Impaired) that will have some helpful suggestions.

Good luck!
