It's a smart, fun, and well-written book for girls. In this story, there are lots of laughs, problems to solve, and new things to learn. (The author also has a series for boys that is all of the above, plus some.)
We talked about words like immigration on Friday, and discussed what it would be like if your cousin from another country came to live with you. We talked about what it would be like to be deaf and also how friends can solve some of their own problems by apologizing to each other.
Then we got busy with our activities of the day. Each girl got to try her hand at origami. We made Fortune Cookies.

Finally, the girls got to memorize how to say something in sign language using a pictorial sign language chart and demonstrate it for the group. By the end, they all knew how to say "I love you" and "Thank you" in sign language. Always handy to know!
