How can I continue enjoying listening to music if mama can’t hear anymore?’
That’s what Jacki’s been wondering.
They always listen to music together on Music Appreciation Fridays. 🎶But Mama has a rare condition and she’s slowly losing her hearing.

Even as they learn Sign Language so they can always share everything with each other, Jacki wonders:
How can she keep enjoying music when her mama can no longer hear it?

Did you know the Canada Council for the Arts pays authors for the free use of their books in Canadian libraries? How neat is that? Grateful for the generous cheque I received recently. #PublicLendingRight #BringingtheArtstoLife

A Kid thinks Dad is afraid of the unicorns in her book.
🦄😨
The truth? Dad is afraid he’ll RUIN the story because he can’t read all the words.😖
But what if they vow to face their fears together?
