ASL introduced to the BSC!

This is a great book and it teaches you a bit of ASL along the way! Do recommend, and Katy Beth’s sisters story really pulls at the heart strings!🫶🏼

I love this introduction to Jessi.


5 out of 5 Ballet Shoes 🩰 🩰

I can’t remember if this made me cry as a child but I sure got all choked up as an adult.

This was a great introduction to Jessi. It does a great job of showing her kind heart, her passion for dancing and her feelings about adjusting to a new town and fitting in with new friends (and some who are judgmental at first.)

I also liked the focus on Matt’s sister, Halie, and her struggle with being the sister of a boy who is deaf. The eagerness to protect him but also feeling resentment.

I got all choked up at the end at Jessi’s ballet 🩰 recital. I was reminded a bit of Mr. Holland’s Opus.

Bahni Turpin did a great narration. She had Jessi sound like a preteen and then the voices for the adults were distinctly different.

An awesome idea

This was a nice addition to the series, being disabled myself, though why they never had a visually impaired client, no idea. Not a ballet fan, but, great idea for it to be translated into sign language.
