In 1814, Gallaudet began teaching his deaf neighbor, Alice, to read. He later helped establish a school that became the cradle of American Sign Language. The illustrations' clean colors and comfortable settings emphasize how loved Alice was. This picture book only touches on the subject's complex history, but it may spur readers to further explore deaf education. Bib.
