A little girl teaches her family and her friends how to relate to
someone who is hearing impaired.
When Grandma Rosa lost her hearing, Sandra and her parents
became frustrated and sad. They didn’t know what to do and
how to learn to communicate better with Grandma Rosa. They
tried shouting, changing the tone of their voices or leaning
closer to her ear when they talked, to no avail. Rosa could hear
some sounds clearly, but certain sounds she couldn’t hear well.
It became an everyday struggle for the family, and they missed
the comforting family conversations at dinner time. Sandra
finds a website for hearing impaired people that explains how
deaf people communicate. They start learning sign language
and to “talk” with their fingers. Sandra and Grandma Rosa find
realize that with compassion, love, and hard work, they can
overcome the obstacles of disability. This fun picture book
carries an important message to children, how to learn not to
judge or make fun of anyone just because they’re different. The
life of any disabled person is no fun and living with a disability
has many challenges, but we can help to make their life easier
and not harder.
