Some Fairies Wear Hearing Aids: a magical story for children with hearing aids or cochlear implants, their friends, classmates and families

AUTHOR Saunders, Tanya; Gill, Penny
PUBLISHER Avid Language (10/19/2023)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

Piper and Paige are best friends - you might even say they are two peas in a pod! These clever girls are both deaf, use listening technology, and are always ready for adventure. When they decide to build fairy houses, they are in for a big surprise!


The author, Penny Gill, has spent her adult life working with D/deaf and hard-or-hearing people of all ages as a Sign Language interpreter and teacher. She believes in the joy of childhood and that all children deserve good stories that reflect their lives. With the rise of advanced technology and mainstreaming, children with hearing loss have fewer opportunities to meet other children and adults who are also deaf or hard-of-hearing. This charming yet simple story explores friendships between people with hearing loss, the journey from birth to listening through sensory devices, and the fun of creative play in nature. There is even an adorable hearing dog!


'Some Fairies Wear Hearing Aids' is a delightful story that provides "mirrors and windows" for children with hearing loss and their typically hearing friends, classmates, and families.
