Two best friends, one deaf and one hearing, grow a garden and make room for a new friend in this heartwarming picture book perfect for fans of Apryl Stott and Kaz Windness.
Sally and Sonia met when they were very small. As they grew, their friendship grew, too. And when they realized Sonia struggled to hear, they learned sign language together. One day, Sally has an idea: to plant a garden with her best friend. But when a new neighbor named Dev moves in with his puppy, Sonia spends so much time with them that she doesn't seem to remember Sally at all. Can Sally find a way to share her feelings with Sonia--and maybe even welcome Dev as a new friend?Author Biography
