I loved this true story with photos of Chris growing up and making friends. He was born deaf, and could only hear vibrations with the help of a hearing aid. He learned to sign, read lips. His hearing impairment did not keep him from playing soccer and making friends. My favorite page in the book is where he is asking his best friend "Can you hear a rainbow?" and his friend said "No, some things don't need a noise. A rainbow is just the same for you and me." This book is a beautiful demonstration that we may have difference, but we are not all that different. ( )

it's about learning how to over come and deal with being deaf

This book is about a boy who is deaf and learns how to communicate.

A deaf child explains to the other kids that a rainbow appears to him just the same as them. He was very young when his parents realized he was deaf, this book would definitely help create understanding and empathy within classrooms.

This story follows Chris and his life with impaired hearing. It describes all the tools they can use and all the things they are capable of doing, like any other child.
