I HAVE A SISTER--MY SISTER IS DEAF

by Jeanne Whitehouse Peterson ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 1977

Another ""special"" sibling is affectionately described by an understanding older sister, who explains to friends that ""her ears don't hurt, but her feelings do when people do not understand."" The author too has a younger sister who is deaf, and the incidentals here--she ""reads"" me better without my sunglasses, she ""doesn't like the feel of that sound"" when a dog barks--have the mark of first-hand observations. But Ray's soft black-and-white drawings of large-mouthed, racially undifferentiated children disregard Peterson's precision for a dim, wispy sort of warmth. To apply as indicated.
