Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
In the newest installments of this series, Emma goes camping with her family and has a dentist appointment. The sign language fingerspelling guide at the beginning helps readers follow along, as fingerspelled words are integrated throughout the text. Emma, who wears a Cochlear Implant (CI) and uses American Sign Language (ASL), navigates everyday experiences where her CI plays a role. At the dentist, she worries that her CI might interfere with the X-rays, and while camping, she has to remove it to avoid water damage at the beach. Though some illustrations show characters using ASL, the signs themselves are not depicted in detail. Instead, the back matter includes images of various children demonstrating relevant signs from the stories. These early chapter books are ideal for beginning readers and provide a thoughtful introduction to the Deaf community, authored by a Deaf-blind writer. VERDICT Excellent additions to any collection.-- "School Library Journal"
