About the Book
Sally and Sonia, two best friends who communicate in sign language, plant a garden, but when Sonia befriends Dev and his puppy gets loose in the garden, Sally becomes upset and fears she's losing her best friend.Book Synopsis
Two best friends, one deaf and one hearing, grow a garden and make room for a new friend in this heartwarming picture book perfect for fans of Apryl Stott and Kaz Windness. Sally and Sonia met when they were very small. As they grew, their friendship grew, too. And when they realized Sonia struggled to hear, they learned sign language together. One day, Sally has an idea: to plant a garden with her best friend. But when a new neighbor named Dev moves in with his puppy, Sonia spends so much time with them that she doesn't seem to remember Sally at all. Can Sally find a way to share her feelings with Sonia--and maybe even welcome Dev as a new friend?Review Quotes
"The alliterative, rhythmic text makes for an ideal read-aloud...Characters' matter-of-fact attitude toward Sonia's deafness is refreshing, and Chen, herself deaf, clearly depicts their American Sign Language signs in sunny, expressive cartoon illustrations. A warm, inclusive take on friendship and conflict resolution."--Kirkus Reviews
