Deaf People Can Do Anything Except Hear: An American History of the Deaf

By Eric Brody

A concise illustrated history of Deaf people in America, starting with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet's life-changing encounter with a young girl named Alice and leading up to the pivotal "Deaf President Now" movement. The movement marked a critical fight for equality, accessibility, and cultural recognition, ultimately highlighted by Dr. King Jordan's powerful message: "Deaf people can do anything except hear." Written by Eric Brody and combined with the expressive artwork of Courtney Monday, the stories of these heroes are vividly brought to life, making this a must-read for both children and adults who are Deaf or hard of hearing about the history and contributions by many who have paved the way for every Deaf person's place and role in society today.
