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.
