Book: Hands that Speak: A Journey of Listening and Learning

In Hands That Speak, Chrissy, the author, shares her personal journey from the hearing world to the Deaf community, and the culture shock that comes with it. As she learns the ABCs and basic words in American Sign Language, she discovers how much fun it can be to communicate in a new way. Along the way, Chrissy explores how Deaf people navigate the world, finding many places to connect with others in the Deaf community. Learning about Deaf culture opens up an entirely new world, not just for Chrissy, but for anyone willing to listen and learn. Author: Christine Pestillo Illustrator: Emily Jerry
