Give Me a Sign | Anna Sortino

Lilah feels stuck in the middle - not deaf enough to identify as deaf, but not hearing enough to meet the expectations of the hearing world. She takes a job as a counselor at a summer camp for the deaf and blind in hopes of becoming fluent in ASL. There she learns many lessons, both about life and her deaf identity. This is a really good look into deaf culture.

This novel is about a young girl who has a newborn sister that was born Deaf. She befriends a Black Deaf ASL user on a fantasy book chat page. He helps her navigate through supporting her newborn sister. Addresses serious issues such as ASL, racism, and the importance of understanding the POV of members of the Deaf community.

“You Don't Know Everything, Jilly P“ is about a young girl who lives in San Fransisco and her mom has a new baby who has a hearing disability. Jilly P meets someone who helps her have difficult conversations about serious issues. These include hearing disabilities, being a black person in our society, and being from a mixed family in our society. Can be a good book to introduce these heavy topics to middle school students.

This book seems right up my alley but it just isn‘t working for me. After about 90 pages I‘m bailing. I‘m disappointed but yeah, I‘m just not enjoying the reading experience. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Read while the 33rd anniversary of ADA fell on the calendar (July 26). Far from my first Deaf/HoH title and still so profound. The arrest scene is such a small part of the overall storyline but one that will replay in my thoughts for a very long time. So many powerful themes throughout that I wish this book could be made into required reading just so everyone would understand the importance of accessibility and Deaf culture.

LiteraryinLawrence This looks right up my alley but I had no idea it was coming out. Thanks! 8mo
MaggieCarr @LiteraryinLawrence are you HoH? I am and am drawn to these storylines that represent so much of my daily struggles. Anyway, I have a shelf tag of other books with Deaf/HoH themes if you are looking for more books. www goodreads.com/MaggieCarr 8mo
LiteraryinLawrence @MaggieCarr Thanks for sharing those recommendations! I‘m hearing, but I‘ve been learning ASL on and off over the last 20 years and want to learn about the lived experience in the Deaf/HoH community. 8mo
