Book Overview

What's it like to have a deaf father? As Conan explains, it's not so different--but it's always interesting. Conan tells how his father Henry Kisor learned to read and speak, made his way through regular schools, and grew up to be a newspaper editor and author. Conan also describes the challenges of lipreading and the technological advances that have made communication easier for his dad.

Good Explanation of An Oral Deaf Adult

This book is a great book for older children to learn about deafness. Just be aware that the deaf man in this book does not use sign language at all. He is strictly oral (uses speech and lipreading). If you're looking for a book that shows you everything (lipreading, oralism, sign language, Culture), this is NOT the book for you. If you are an oralist, you will find this book to be a good read. Again, it is for the older child or pre-teen and does not read as a picture or story book. For a children's book it is quite lengthy, but well worth the time if you are looking for a deaf experience in oralism. I am Deaf, but I am not supportive of a strictly oral upbringing. I did, however, feel that this book offered potential. That's just this deafie's opinion. :o)
