Meet Jack. A little boy with sparkly blue eyes and two hearing aids. A little boy whose only word is "NO!".
When "No!" is a battle and Mummy is tired and Jack is tired too, what does Mummy try next?
Jack Signs! is written by Karen Hardwicke, who is the parent of a young deaf adult and has been a Teacher of the Deaf for over ten years. The book’s gorgeous illustrations are by artist Amanda Walker.
