I loved how the book included the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet when going over the topic of signed language. The illustrations showed the ASL alphabet with hand shape pics and letters in English for clarification. It also shows how to sign several things like “noon, face, stand, join, heart, night, and in.” It also explains how a TTY works, that some people have lights for when their doorbell rings, and other accommodations that are seen in the home of deaf people.
At the end of the book, the family moves and explains how is hard that no one understands their family and the different needs they have now that they live in a different town. One of the children said, “nobody stared when they saw us talking with our hands.” Less people are accepting of different languages and cultures in other places, and this book did a good job of explaining. The main idea of the book is to teach to be accepting of deaf people and that their language is fun and deaf people can do anything a hearing person can except hear. ( )
