The Creation story, presented in simplified verse, unfolds across seven gorgeously illustrated panels. Each page of text features key words in American Sign Language (ASL), the universal language of the hearing impaired. The engaging full-colour images and rhyming verses are sure to capture the attention of children, both deaf and hearing, and remind them that God is living in them and that they are a special part of God's creation. This story is a first step in helping hearing children to understand that when God speaks, we all can hear. A lovely gift book that also teaches children about inclusion and ability. "Beautiful in its simplicity, this age-old story appeals to all in sign and sound. A treasure for introducing young children to the wonders of creation!" -Sr. Joan Mary Finn OP, Coordinator, Pastoral Ministry with the Deaf, Diocese of Rockville Centre, NY "...a delightful book for all children, deaf as well as hearing. A beautiful expression of creation as God's sign language of love." -Fr. Thom Costa, Diocesan Chaplain with the Deaf, Glen Grove, NY
