Gr 4—6—What happens when a group of children from a school for the deaf take public transportation on a field trip? How does a family learn that their child is hearing impaired? Is it easy for someone with cochlear implants to learn how to communicate? Answers to these questions and others are found in this collection of funny and touching short stories and poems. Set in Argentina, each story introduces readers to a different child whose life is affected by deafness. Information about cochlear implants and sign language and descriptions of techniques used to teach children how to identify sounds are interspersed throughout. Readers will learn from the factual information while enjoying the stories and poems.—Rebecca Alcalá, San Mateo County Library, CA
