"This middle grade novel in verse dealt with heavy topics in a beautiful way. I love diverse books and this author does an amazing job of writing about the deaf experience for middle grade readers. "

"This novel in verse is by turns heartbreaking and hopeful. The main character is deaf. She moves in with her teacher after her home life becomes unbearable. This book works so well because of how the white space surrounding the poetry gives painful e"

"This is a short book that packs a punch.
You learn about Effie's struggles during online schooling because there wasn't an interpreter on zoom. You learn how no one in her family is willing to learn sign language, how only her sister will even write " Read more of this review » |

"As mentioned in the book’s summary…this read will break your heart, yet mend by the end of the book. So often, disabilities in a person are seen as a negative and diminishing factor, but that is such a marred view. I loved the lyrical writing and the"

“Educating people is the best tool we have against forgetting (the events of the holocaust and T4). We must make sure nothing like T4 ever happens again.”

“They said 'specialist children's wards,'
But they meant children-killing centers.
They said 'final medical assistance'
But they meant murder.”

“Silence. I'm sure that many hearing people, especially those who don't know the deaf, imagine our lives are filled with silence. That's not true. If my mind and heart are full of energy and fun, and I'm looking ahead with excitement, I don't feel silent at all. I buzz like a bee in good times. Only in bad times, when I am numb and full of sadness, does everything turn silent. Like out house with just Mama and me in it.”

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
― Letters of Ted Hughes

“Follow, poet, follow right
To the bottom of the night,
With your unconstraining voice
Still persuade us to rejoice;
With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,
Sing of human unsuccess
In a rapture of distress;
In the deserts of the heart
Let the healing fountain start,
In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise.”

I am because of the dust.
And what I am is good enough.
Even for me.”
