How can a family’s differences make every moment more joyful?Join six-year-old Lyra as she celebrates her grandmother’s birthday with family-including her baby sister, who is Deaf. Through laughter, delicious food, and the beauty of sign language, Lyra experiences how their differences only make their family bonds stronger and more meaningful. Sympathetically written by former teacher of the Deaf, now children’s librarian, Hanna Ahn, and with charming artworks by Jenny Han (who draws on her own experience as a member of the Deaf community), MY FAMILY’S JOY is an endearing celebration of family, connection, and the joy of communication. This story full of love invites readers into the world of the Deaf community but also offers a mirror for those with similar families, revealing how love and connection can be found in many forms.Sensory-rich and filled with vibrant illustrations, this beautiful little book not only celebrates Deaf culture but also fosters inclusivity and empathy. With its affirming message, MY FAMILY’S JOY will resonate with young readers and families alike, offering a beautiful reminder of the importance of love, acceptance, and communication.Educators and parents will find this book a valuable tool for initiating important conversations about diversity, language, and the power of family connection.The book ends with a fun 'look and find' challenge, and some handy prompts for age-appropriate discussion questions.And don’t miss the American Sign Language version, free to view on the AVID Language website! The story is signed in ASL by the book’s own illustrator!
