Aus dem Klappentext

In The Creation Story, Deacon John P. Audia provides children with a simple version of the classic story of Creation illustrated in word and sign. Through engaging full-color images and rhyming verses he captures the attention of children, both deaf and hearing, and reminds them that God is living in them and that they are a special part of God?s creation. This story is a first step in helping children to understand that when God speaks we all can hear. The Creation Story provides a way for parents and children to share not only the story but also the different signs that are used to tell the story. It is the ideal book for those looking to help encourage both adults and children to deepen their faith and serves as a learning tool to expose them to American Sign Language (ASL), the universal language for the hearing impaired. It also gives hearing children a head start on a bilingual education and offers potential to improve literacy skills by introducing them to the benefits of sign.?Children will love to look at the pictures and to learn the signs while at the same time gaining a deeper appreciation for God?s act of creation.? Spiritual Woman?Deacon John Audia is one of those creative and dedicated men of the Church who combine deep understanding of the faith with a lively ability to express it in word and in sign. As Episcopal liaison to the National Catholic Office of the Deaf, I am particularly proud that one of the deacons of the Diocese of Rockville Centre has produced such a fine book for young children who are hearing impaired. I heartily recommend this as an innovative and creative way to help children learn the foundational stories of our faith. This book should have circulations far beyond the deaf community to all those who communicate to children both in word and in sign.? Most Reverend William MurphyBishop of Rockville Centre, New York?Beautiful in its simplicity, this age old story appeals to all in sign and sound. Signs are easily copied opening the story to deaf and hearing alike, while the simple rhymes are pleasing to the ear. A tiny treasure for introducing young children to the wonders of creation! Parents and teachers of deaf children will welcome this addition to the field of catechetics.? Sister Joan Mary Finn, O.P. Coordinator, Pastoral Ministry with the Deaf Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York?This is a delightful book for all children, deaf as well as hearing. The rhyming text and the accompanying signs and illustrations will be a big help for anyone working with deaf children as well as children with language and communication impairments. It really is a beautiful expression of creation as God's sign language of love. Let's hope it becomes the first book of a series!? Fr. Thom Costa Diocesan Chaplain with the Deaf Glen Cove, New York
