The narrator tells us about her daily life with her sister, who is deaf. The narrator talks about her sisters likes and dislikes, school day, and how they communicate. I thought the book did a great job at explaining nonverbal communication, and how her sister communicates in different ways. I also really liked the simple black and white illustrations, since they drew the readers' attention to the two sisters. ( ) This book is told from the point of view of a sister of a deaf person. She gives us, the readers, a real life account of what it is like to live with and care for a deaf person. Even though her sister can do plenty things, like play the piano and run and tumble and look for deer, there are plenty things that she cannot. She will never be able to hear the telephone ring or the knocking at the door. This book makes it plain and clear that limitations placed on an individual by a disability is just that, a limitation. It is important that this aspect of being disabled is highlighted. The little girl has a sister and her sister is deaf. But the love that they share for each other speaks volumes. In the story, the little girl's sister is deaf. Her sister can't hear, but she can still communicate in her own way. Throughout the story, she does things that any kid would do like leap, tumble, and climb monkey bars. She likes to feel the vibrations of sounds. She starts to learn words like "ball" and "blue". She also has a way of communicating with her face and shoulders. She may not always understand words, but she can understand actions. This is a great story to learn from. It shows the reader how a person with a disability interacts and communicates with others in her own way. A simple, beautiful story between two sisters who spend their day together, do everyday tasks, and help each other out. One sister happens to also be dead. A good introductory book for children who have little or no knowledge, prior to the book, about this group of people. It's a well done and respectful, although this is only one perspective and that of the sister. I would like to find a picture book from the viewpoint of the person who is deaf. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
