Give Me a Sign
by Anna Sortino
As a student of ASL, I absolutely loved this book. As a Hearie, I can also recognize that sometimes (often) we are the problem.
———-
Lilah is HOH (Hard of Hearing) due to a congenial condition that causes progressive hearing loss. She has hearing aids and reads lips and has a little bit of ASL vocab.
Camp Gray Wolf is a summer camp for the Deaf, HOH, and visually impaired where they can go and be among friends from across the country, and just be a kid in an environment that’s specifically built for and caters to them.
Lilah has a unique position being that she has hearing aids but also can’t hear perfectly. Throughout the course of her summer as a junior counselor, she learns to love both sides of her — her Deafness doesn’t invalidate her hearing abilities, and he use of hearing aids doesn’t make her any less Deaf.
——————
Also. I loved when Lilah and Natasha put Mackenzie in her place about “pretending to be Deaf in public” and claiming that she is an ASL interpreter (when she’s actually a student).
