Friends

This delightful children’s book tells a visual story about two boys who meet randomly in an alley. One is deaf and the other hearing; together, they work together to figure out how to communicate. The pages are filled with rich, colorful illustrations. This sweet, simple and easy-to-understand story is great for people of all ages, and shows that all it takes to make a new friend is an open mind and a willingness to try new things, like sign language.
