Summary: A Child Learns to Accept His Deafness
Review: A young deaf boy faces many frustrations until he meets a deaf teenager who helps him to deal with growing up in a world without sound. Written by teachers of the deaf, this book is a sensitive look at a child coping with growing up with a hearing loss. Young children really respond favorably to the child in the story and are ready to discuss how they would feel in similar circumstances. It is an excellent book to use as a starting point for classroom or family discussion of disabilities.
