Moses
Sees a Play
By Isaac Millman
Today,
Moses and his school have some special visitors. They are the actors
of The Little Theatre of the Deaf. They present plays in a special
way. Moses' teacher, Mr. Samuel invites a hearing class to see the
play with Moses' class. Manuel is with the visiting class. He is
new and speaks Spanish. Moses knows Manuel feels different and tries
to sign to him. Manuel and Moses discover they do have something
in common and a friendship begins.
So what
is it that draws Manuel and Moses together? Moreover, how does The
Little Theatre of the Deaf present the Cinderella? You will have
to read the book to find out!
Millman
writes and illustrates the Moses series. Millman's modest illustrations
blend perfectly with the reflective storylines he creates. The Moses
series' easy-going, imaginative approach teaches deaf awareness
in an unassuming way. Learning new signs with each book is an added
bonus. Moses is an inspirational role model for both hearing and
deaf children. This is one series I highly recommend. |
