A deaf boy’s baseball superpower gives him courage to turn bullies into friends in a heartwarming picture book. Young Sky is a boy who was born deaf, but it doesn’t stop him from doing what he loves most: playing baseball. Eager and determined, he works hard on his skills until he notices that, swing after swing, every ball is hit, soaring out of the ballpark like an eagle...Sky has a superpower! Not hearing enables him to focus on the ball and hit home runs with ease. But when the bullies try to bring him down, baseball gives him the courage to face them and win them over, and 'with every home run, a bully becomes a friend.' Author Mickey Carolan did not have to look far for inspiration for this uplifting story. As a hearing child raised by two deaf parents, he witnessed firsthand the challenges that face some deaf children, namely being bullied for being different. It became Carolan’s mission to create a book in which a deaf child can see themselves in the story and how they can make a positive difference. In the United States alone, there are an estimated 300,000 deaf or hearing-impaired school-aged children, according to the National Association of the Deaf. With Sky, the Deaf Home Run Hero: A Lesson in Courage, Carolan brings a story of bravery and friendship to families and early educators of both the deaf and hearing communities.
