DESCRIPTION:
From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2-In both titles, a brown-skinned toddler signs elementary words such as "ball," "sleep," "hot," and "rain" in American Sign Language (ASL).

The note on the back of the books points out, "-a growing number of researchers agree that not only deaf children but also hearing children can benefit from early exposure to sign language, often learning basic signs as early as nine months old, before they learn spoken words."-Olga R.

The books cover fundamental expressions such as “sleep,” “cold,” “eat,” and “hurt” as well as “rain,” “mommy,” “daddy,” and “car.” “Signing is a beautifully tactile way for babies to learn about their world,” the authors write. Every parent knows the frustration of trying to satisfy the demands of an infant too young to communicate his or her thoughts.
