5.0 out of 5 starsBalanced, easy to read
By A. Hasting on March 21, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book presented a simple, direct explanation of deafness. I work with elementary age deaf kids who sign and have cochlear implants, and they loved reading this. The text had a few "hard" words but was within their grasp with a little help.

They enjoyed looking at the picture of deaf kids with hearing aids and cochlear implants--"Just like me!" And they enjoyed looking at kids signing and going to speech.

This book has a neutral tone. Saying that some deaf kids talk, but not that it is better to talk. Saying that some deaf kids sign, but not that it is better to sign. The book conveyed "This is how it is," more fact than opinion. Exactly what I was looking for.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood introduction
By nonnakjj on January 13, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
It is a nice easy introductory book that can help spark good conversation with children about deaf/ hard of hearing friends. Written in a way that is easy for young children to understand but doesn't speak down to older students.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood for students
By Sweetestjoy on November 25, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I read this with my severly visually impaired student. He didn't realize that the term blind applied to him. He is new to English. Still he enjoyed the book and had lots of questions, which is what I wanted.

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Purchased for my daycare, book has nice pictures and was easy to understand. It had addition information in the back for resources and definitions for some of the words used that are unfamiliar. This book is part of a set of five, I recommend buying all of the set.
