“ I have been scouring the Internet looking for more books that are simple to sign. My little girl was born deaf and we were introduced to these books by our UtahPIP Language gal. My daughter LOVES these books more than any other books.”
-
“It is so hard to teach both ASL and English when you basically are telling 2 stories. When I can sign what I say, my kids pay attention. Especially at night when they don't have hearing aids in , before bed. These books are so important!”
-
"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."
Our goal is to create stories that are written in English to be simple to sign in American Sign Language, clearly teach concepts in ASL and English, and capture the fun of ASL literature.
Often our books- Rhyme When Signed! If you don’t know the signs to a book, simply scan the QR code on the back of each book and learn the signs from a Deaf Mentor- and watch how they rhyme. Each book is illustrated by Deaf Artists.
