Description

Jacki's mama is slowly losing her hearing. As Mama's world becomes quieter. Jacki's remains full of sound. Can Jacki and her mama find a way to keep sharing the music they love? -- Provided from back cover.

What does nothing sound like? Jacki's mama has a rare condition. She is slowly losing her hearing. Together, they are learning Sign Language so that they'll always be able to tell each other everything. But as Mama's world becomes quieter, Jacki's remains full of sound, especially on Music Appreciation Fridays. How can Jacki enjoy listening to music when her mama can no longer hear it? A heartfelt story, inspired by the author's childhood, about a young girl coming to terms with her mother's hearing loss and finding new ways to experience the world, together. -- Provided from Amazon.
