Positive Portrayal of Deaf Life

Deaf Culture: A to Z arose from questions Deaf author Walter Paul Kelley and Deaf illustrator Tony Landon McGregor had about their own deafness while growing up. Both attended schools for the deaf and mainstreamed schools with hearing children. This book will introduce you to bed-vibrating alarm clocks, American Sign Language, the protest at Gallaudet University which led to the appointment of its first Deaf president... and much more.The only book of its kind to date for children, Deaf Culture: A to Z provides glimpses into deafness and Deaf culture to enlighten hearing and deaf children alike with its positive portrayal of deaf life.Kirsten KlinghammerSacramento Deaf Services Library Foundation
