A further series of five short stories written and illustrated by Canadian deaf people, winners of the Ladder Awards II, sponsored by the Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf. These stories emphasise how alone deaf people can feel in the midst of those who hear, and while the quality of the writing is often rather predictable, they will appeal to children who can identify with the kind of situations portrayed.
