Written by Phil Cummings

Illustrated by Shane Devries

(Usborne Books & More)

Boy cannot hear life happening around him but that doesn’t mean he is unaware. Boy communicates with his "dancing" hands although most in his community do not understand him. Even though Boy lives in a place of silence, he notices that the battle between the King and the Dragon are fiercely loud. He doesn't understand why they are fighting. Most are reluctant to allow Boy to help but he is persistent and with his help everyone soon realizes it was a big misunderstanding.

ACTIVITY: Learn sign language! Well, at least everyday phrases like "Thank you" or "Hi". My kids had a lot of fun with this activity!
