Kraushaar says they will be looking for more stories from children with different abilities to showcase Pacific creativity.

She adds the books were transcribed in four languages as English, Itaukei, Fiji Hindi and Fijian sign language, and you can view this through the app called 'Let's Read'.

Meanwhile, Gospel School for the Deaf representative Russell Neate thanks the Asia Foundation for giving them a set of books and to showcase the potential of the children.
