Signs lead to children's book on deaf (The Sun, SAN BERNARDINO, CA 9/6/08)
Enrique Speaks With His Hands is based on the story of a deaf Honduran youngster. The author and his family met Enrique while doing ministry service in Honduras with Signs of Love, a nonprofit organization that brings language to the deaf in Third World countries and spreads Christianity.
Great to see a book with real educational value. I'm always on the hunt for great children's books and have recently discovered Bayard and their series of StoryBoxBooks, AdventureBoxBooks and DiscoveryBoxBooks. In addition to this, they also have some great activities. There's a Readathon happening in the Ireland region - http://discoveryboxbooks.com/readathon.php and a Ghost Drawing competition in AdventureBoxBooks assiciated with the Polka Theatre (http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/competition.php)
