  • “I HIGHLY recommend these books. They are truly wonderful. The signed rhymes are fabulous for building a deaf baby's language just like auditory rhymes are for hearing babies. These books fill a need for deaf babies and their parents, but they are also beautiful and quality books that are suitable for any baby at all. I can't wait for the next ones to be produced. Don't hesitate to buy a set..”

  • “We ordered the children's board books that rhyme in ASL. Our daughter is deaf and she loves these books. We are very thankful to have such a great resource to help our daughter learn language. Hope to see more materials come out of this nonprofit organization. Thanks for what you have produced so far!”

  • “My 15-month-old daughter is deaf and the About Love and Language books are her FAVORITE! We read them almost daily. I can tell that she notices the visual rhymes and they are really fun for her. She even signs some of the words herself now!”

  • “ These books are truly unique as I have not found resources like these from any other organization. I would love to see more :) “

  • “ My family is so thankful for these books that we acquired and look forward to others being produced. I think the work of About Love and Language is of great benefit to families of deaf or hard of hearing children (and others), and I hope it will be more widely available.”

  • “ I just want to let you know how much these books mean to us. It helps deaf children see how important their language is to be part of this book. And it helps parent learn sign language and connect with their child.”

  • “As a Deaf Mentor, I have a lot of families who ask about books to read with their deaf child all the time. Many of them don't sign well. This is the most perfect, simple way to do that!”
