Jack Signs!

It's time for Nursery. NO! It's time to leave the sticks outside. NO! It's time to walk home. NO! Meet Jack. A little boy with sparkly blue eyes and two hearing aids. A little boy whose only word is "NO!". When "No!" is a battle and Mummy is tired and Jack is tired too, what does Mummy try next? Based on a true story, Jack Signs! follows the journey of a little boy who is deaf, his typically hearing sister and their Mum. When his Mum discovers a book of sign language, their family life is transformed and Jack blossoms with his new-found communication skills. The book integrates "sign along with me" icons, which prompt children (and their parents) to sign along with Jack as they read the story (British Sign Language - BSL and American Sign Language - ASL). Jack Signs! is written by Karen Hardwicke, who is the parent of a young deaf adult and has been a Teacher of the Deaf for over ten years.
