October 2016, National Deaf Children's Society, 34 pages, Paperback, Review copy
Summary from National Deaf Children's Society
In this colourful tale where nothing limits the imagination, Daisy and
Ted encounter pirates, wizards and princes on their travels through time
and space. The story is really brought to life by bright and vibrant
illustrations.
Nayu's thoughts
This is
an utterly charming read about Daisy explaining how Ted can make it
easier to communicate her. The way Daisy explains the various things
that make it harder/easier to understand what people are saying is
highly imaginative and made me smile. It's so much better than her
just using a list. Ted is really understanding and is excited to play
with Daisy. Again I was surprised by the last place they visit-it's
weird and brilliant at the same time and is the only reason the story
doesn't get top marks as I was a little freaked out by what I saw.
I'd prefer fluffy versions of the objects in question!
This is an awesome
adventure story, with vivd colours and creative creatures on every
page. I may have read a book about a deaf child before, but there
aren't many and Daisy's arrival clearly explains what helps her out,
something that may differ from person to person. I hope there's
another!

Suggested read
Another sweet read about someone who is seen by some to be 'different' can be seen in Be A Friend by Salina Yoon (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
