Awards and Reviews
A wonderfully illustrated picture book promoting empathy as it helps young readers to understand what it is like to be deaf. A FINALIST and highly recommended!
—Wishing Shelf Book Awards
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent educational story that teaches children about deafness and the importance of understanding and accepting differences.
—Doreen Chombu, Readers’ Favorite
I thought this was a wonderful book that shows how deaf people can lead the same kind of lives that hearing people can. The way they experience things is just a little different. The whimsical illustrations bring the story to life in a fun way. I love that all the contributors are part of the deaf community.
