Ahhh. But I do see a few titles that on the list that I missed. Thanks so much for putting this together!

Just a question, when you speak of deaf characters, do you only focus on main characters that are deaf or include supporting characters that don't appear that often? I mainly want to read books that have deaf characters as the main character (or one of the main characters).<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28821776.post-48721500805403855062008-01-26T15:55:00.000-08:002008-01-26T15:55:00.000-08:00Thanks Lipstick:)Thanks Lipstick:)Sharon Pajka,Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17105551757824474530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28821776.post-87955866742700063192008-01-26T10:50:00.000-08:002008-01-26T10:50:00.000-08:00I just want to say BRAVO to you and this work that...I just want to say BRAVO to you and this work that you are doing.
