NOTES
"This work is based on Hands of My Father: A Hearing Boy, His Deaf Parents, and the Language of Love, originally published by Bantam Books, a division of Random House, a subsidiary of Penguin Random House, in 2009"--Title page verso
"Myron Uhlberg was born the hearing son of deaf parents at a time when American Sign Language was not well established and deaf people were often dismissed as being unintelligent. In this young reader adaptation of his acclaimed memoir, Hands of My Father, Uhlberg recalls the daily difficulties and hidden joys of growing up as the intermediary between his parents' silent world and the world of the hearing."--Amazon
