A story of friendship between a hearing girl and a deaf boy.
Learning different modes/languages in order to communicate effectively. Do you know that you can learn to spell your name with your hands by using the Sign Language alphabet (which appears on the endpapers of this book - a S African sign language)?
You will then be able to say hello and introduce yourself when you meet a Deaf person. Mpumi and her two friends meet Jabu, who is deaf. He joins them at the playground, where he realizes that communication with hearing children is possible. The story follows the the adventure that unfolds when Mpumi, a hearing girl, and Jabu, a Deaf boy, meet for the first time. They learn that even though we are all different, we are also the same in many ways. We love playing and reading, we love smiling and helping our family and friends. Everything about us makes us special.
A sequel to Mpumi’s Magic Beads. British sign language does differ from its S African counterpart.
