Join us for a reading of “Show Me a Sign,” a novel set on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts that covers events beginning in November 1805 and ending in January 1806. The story is told by the 11-year-old protagonist Mary Elizabeth Lambert. Mary is deaf and lives on the island at the beginning of the 19th century. Her father is also deaf, but her brother and mother can hear. Martha’s Vineyard is unique because a large percentage of the inhabitants are deaf, and the entire community uses a local sign language to communicate among its members. Children will listen, read along, and then discuss the story. Get ready to meet new friends and be part of a great book club! Children who finish the book receive a special certificate. For ages 8-12.
