About this resource
Starting at a new school is difficult enough, but Ayen is also worried about how her classmates will respond when they discover she is Deaf.
Her teacher knows Sign Language and some classmates are welcoming, but Ayen soon encounters teasing, bullying and a school environment that isn't fully accessible to her. When a fire alarm goes off while she is trapped in a storeroom, those accessibility barriers become far more than a social challenge.
A South African chapter book that centres a Deaf child while exploring friendship, bullying, communication, accessibility and belonging.
