In experiencing and confidently handling too many rude conversations with other kids on her hearing aids or ears, Landon asked me about books we could recommend to other kids to read. She wondered if they read these books at home, if they’d be nicer to her and others just like her in the future. “Maybe they’d learn kindness or how to ask me questions in a kind way?”
So we went to our local Barnes and Noble and found only a few which was a great start but eye opening that we have more work to do at the larger outlet. We then read online posts and samples of books from online bookstores, went to a local small bookstore we love on King, read trusted recommendations from people we know and love, and then made a pact to try to write our own this year (!!!).
Until that time, we wanted to share our recommendations for books that teach kindness, inclusion, acceptance and celebration of differences, as well as a few about hearing loss since that’s a very minor category still. These span multiple age groups since we have three very different ages in our own house, and we also tried to also include smaller bookstores or minority owned bookstores from where to order them.
