Finding ways to understand each other when words-and languages-aren't easy
Adil is the new kid in Neel's class and Neel thinks he's pretty cool! Adil runs like the wind and swims like a fish. He also uses his hands and body to make words. This is because Adil is Deaf and he uses sign language. Neel wants to be Adil's friend but can't figure out how to communicate with him. One day at lunch, Adil spots Neel sketching in his notebook. What if Adil learns to draw like Neel and Neel learns to sign like Adil? Just imagine the amazing adventures the Doodling Duo could go on!
A heartwarming picture book that centers empathy and the surprising superpowers of friendship between a Deaf student and his hearing classmate.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Karthik's book was originally published in India, and she bookends the story with both the American and Indian Sign Language alphabets. The illustrations are not only charming, but also brilliantly convey the movements of the characters' sign language. Karthik notes that although Deaf kids may seem different from hearing children, "in lots of other ways-the books we read, the food we like, the jokes that make us fall over laughing-we are all the same." This book delivers this message flawlessly with plenty of heart and good humor. A joyful tale of finding connection and making friends." - Kirkus Reviews (STARRED)
