Description
Jilly P. is certain she’s cracked the code on how life works—until her sister Emma is born Deaf and Jilly realizes that understanding people takes more than good intentions. As she navigates new family dynamics and the challenge of asking the right questions, Jilly finds connection with Derek, a Deaf Black ASL user and fellow fantasy reader who offers guidance in ways that stretch her perspective. Blending humor, heart, and everyday moments of growth, this story explores communication, empathy, and the difference between “knowing” and truly learning. With Alex Gino’s accessible, character-driven style, Jilly’s journey invites readers to listen more closely, think critically about language and access, and embrace the ongoing work of becoming a better ally.
