La bambina che andava a pile
by Taini Monica
Sharp and cute, poetic and true: a picture book which tells with plane yet emotional words the meaning of being deaf. Monìc is a deaf girl. If she wants to hear the voices of her friends, she has to wear a cochlear implant. She has learnt that she is different and the law calls her “disabled”. Fortunately, she has also learnt that a life can’t be trapped in a single word, and that she can express herself with two different voices: her mouth and her hands.
