A terrific children's book that will satisfy adults too. The story of a dog who feels dislocated by the arrival of a new child in the family and then discovers that the child is hearing impaired, only to become the child's guardian angel and the "best big sister in the world". The author's wry style and the sensitive treatment of the issues of both sibling rivalry and disability are impressive. A great way to read something meaningful to your kids.

My mom, a speech pathology teacher, recommended this book tome. I thought it was very well written and offered a lot of insightinto what it must be like having someone you love be hearing impaired. I would recommed this book and feel it could be used effectively in a classroom setting.

I am a 3rd grade teacher. I used this book in my class to introduce the topic of deafness and how helpful pets can be. This is a touching story that is both informative and funny. I loved it and so did the kids!

My aunt Gloria wrote this book about my cousin Elana. It's a true story, down to the name of the dog, Lacey. It was was very cute and funny. I hope everyone out there can read it and enjoy it, even if it doesn't relate to them personally. :)

Well written and beautifully illustrated children's book. My children and I both enjoy this sweet story!
