Let’s Go For A Sound Walk!
Have you switched on your “listening ears”?
Let’s listen together.
Let’s talk about what we hear.
Let’s go for a sound walk!
Join two adorable siblings on their sound exploration - from quiet to loud, swishing to sweeping, roaring, crashing, crying and sleeping...
For young children with (and without) hearing loss, this relatable and engaging story intertwines vibrant sounds from home, garden and beyond with beautiful and humorous illustrations by world-renowned deaf illustrator, Lucy Rogers. Encouraging playful interaction between reader and listener, it presents a fun (sometimes raucous!) way to support the development of listening and language through a celebration of the sounds we hear all around us every day.
The book ends with a recap of all the sounds encountered in the story, and 7 top tips for reading the book for with your child, compiled by the author who has ten years’ experience as a Teacher of the Deaf.
The book features a deaf main character with cochlear implants, but will equally resonate with those who wear hearing aids or have typical hearing.
