Accessibility statement

What this means in practice

• Everything works with a keyboard alone. A skip link is the first thing you reach on each page, and focus is always visible.
• The book reader can be driven with the arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down, Home and End, or with the labelled Previous and Next buttons. Dragging a page is an extra, never the only way.
• The reader announces the current page to screen readers as it changes. Every illustration in a picture book carries a text description.
• Motion respects your system's reduced-motion setting: pages crossfade instead of turning. The page-turn sound is off by default.
• Text and controls meet the 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios in both the adult and kid themes, and in light and dark mode.
• Pages reflow down to 320 pixels wide and text can be enlarged to 200 percent without anything being cut off.

Known limitations

• The three-dimensional page turn is decorative. Its drag gesture has no keyboard equivalent, because the buttons and arrow keys already do the same job.
• Books written by other users may contain images whose descriptions were written by the author. We require a description on every image but cannot guarantee its quality.
