Carl Enters a Contest

Deaf people can use their other senses to accomplish anything. The children's book Carl Enters a Contest promotes positive perspectives on perseverance and shows how Carl can work hard during a baking competition. The 24-page fiction book also includes a "words to know" vocabulary list and comprehension questions to keep the learning going. Carl was first introduced in our Katie Can series, based on our best-selling book of the same title. In the story, Katie becomes friends with her early-elementary classmate Carl through her familiarity with basic ASL. We are continuing with Carl's story in the new and inclusive Carl Can series. This children's book was reviewed by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services.
