Julia's Words
I like the honest emotion within the story. My daughter was instantly drawn in. Julia's condemnation of her friend was an unexpected twist, one that forces readers to evaluate their own levels of persistence within relationships. I also like that the back of the book offers illustrations teaching various words in American Sign Language. Very few books feature deaf characters, so this is fantastic. Also, few books feature Asian main characters. Having an interracial family, this is a big 'plus' to me. --Christian Children's Book Review
