CELIA, THE GIRL WHO SANG WITH HER HANDS
by Text: Juan Francisco Bascuñán / Illustrations: Valeria Cis
Description
Celia is a girl like many others her age, but she has something special: she can speak with her hands and hear with her eyes, because her ears don’t function - she is deaf. The story is told through the letters that the girl writes to her mother. Celia arrived in Santiago de Chile to live with her aunt and uncle, while her family remains in Colombia. She writes to her mother about her difficult experiences at school, where no one knows how to speak in sign language. However, thanks to the commitment of the director, she achieves important changes in the school, which is enriched by opening up to the world of deaf people and getting to know, through her, the culture of another country. The book has two attached resources, which help to bring deaf and hearing children closer together: a manual of the alphabet of the Chilean sign language included in the book, as well as a video that shows the pages in the sign language transcription and the reading version in off on the publisher’s website.
