"Beautifully illustrated by Tammie Lyon, Let's Hear it for Almigal
should be required reading for children who are hearing impaired.
It's easy to identify with Almigal, a child full of energy,
enthusiasm, and mischief. Written in language that is simple to
understand for children ages three through eight." --ForeWord
Reviews
"Kupfer--whose own daughter, Ali, was diagnosed with profound
hearing loss at 10 months of age--celebrates uniqueness, while the
delightful, full-page illustrations show the lively heroine and her
friends and family enjoying their differences." --Kirkus
Reviews
"This is a lovely, positive uplifting book that will also hopefully
make people more aware of what it is like to be deaf. It is
important for people to understand what it is like to be deaf so
that they can empathize with deaf people. It also gives those who
are deaf an amazing character that they can relate to."
--Children's Web Magazine
