Hear My Dance is an inspirational and heartwarming story that showcases and celebrates the beauty of our diverse world through the lens of the main character, Morgan, who is deaf and nonverbal. Following Morgan’s first day of dance school, the book provides readers with a compelling tale of inclusion and empowerment. Morgan loves the idea of dance school, as she finds dance the best way to express herself. But she must first overcome the challenges of making new friends with those she cannot hear and who cannot hear her. Hear My Dance teaches that communication comes in many forms and shows that our differences—in ourselves and others—can be our strengths.
