I am Deaf
I am Deaf is a fantastic picture book for children 4 to 9 years of age that introduces deafness from the childs point of view. It is an empowering and easy to understand book about Lana, a ten year old deaf girl who talks about what "having ears that don't work" means to her.

It does not matter that Lana is deaf, she can still do most of the things other kids do. She explains what the world looks like to her, what a hearing aid is and why she wears it; about sign language and why she thinks that's cool (and so do the other kids); about her hearing guide dog and more. The theme is "deafness is no obstacle"; and it is a great read for deaf child and their family and peers.

This book is part of a series of sensitively-written picture storybooks that take a child’s point of view. They are all attractively illustrated storybooks that encourage kids never to be afraid of a challenge. The text is simple and the illustrations on every page are appealing. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to the book’s theme. A final two-page section offers advice to parents.

My Auslan Recipe Book - Volume 1
"Cooking and Food preparation is such a wonderful path way to language development - both orally and through sign language. You not only have access to the very visual stimuli of food to help you explore and develop understanding of nouns; but also a fantastic opportunity to explore descriptive language.
What does it look like, feel like, smell like?
Is it hard, tender, bumpy, smelly, rotten, fresh, yummy, yukky?
Do you need to do it slowly, quickly, more or less?
Coupled with the opportunity to examine measurements, and learn about dangers in the kitchen; cooking is a language hot pot just waiting for you to jump in and start playing in it" Lee Bilby, Author

This innovative book is the first of its kind; cleverly blending Auslan (Australian Sign Language) seamlessly into easy to follow recipes for Anzac Biscuits, Gingerbread man, Pikelets and Pizza.

Each recipe starts with a clear list of ingredients and Utensils required; all accompanied by a beautiful photograph of the item, and a clear, easy to understand illustration of the sign. You will then be guided by step by step instructions in Auslan and English.

Introduction sections introduce the reader to Preparation Signs, like "clean the bench" and important Warning and Measurement signs.

After the recipes you will find a large Food Dictionary, which includes over 300 signs! Categories include:
Drinks, Fruit and Veg, Ingredients, Utensils and Equipment, Cooking Words, Describing food (like tender and hard, or rotten and fresh), Food Preparation and Naming Things - a special section that talks about brand names, cuts of meat and variety names (like mozeralla, fetta and swiss cheeses). This Naming Things section also includes an introduction to finger spelling, and 'short hand signing' or fingerspelling abbreviations.

"Just fantastic. Such a wonderful way to introduce everyday foods, and adjectives associated with food; and just beautiful. The photos are fantastic, right down to photos of the measurements! Very well thought out and delightfully delivered." Beth : Early Intervention Service Provider

This book is 22.5 X 30.5 cm, spiral bound in a plastic gold spiral and coated in a pvc outer cover.
