Candance TaylorCandance "TaylorMade" Taylor, Saint Louis based author. She was inspired to write this series of children's picture books on deafness because she has experienced first hand the struggles that Deaf people go through. Due to having a sister who is deafand growing up in the deaf culture all of her life she has seen deaf people get treated unfairly, looked over due to lack of communication and understanding of the Deaf culture, and be told that they're not normal if they do not "speak" the English language. She wants people to know that deafness is beautiful, that ASL is a "real" language and that no matter if you sign, speak, wear a cochlear or a hearing aid or don't wear either, YOU are still uniquely made by God and can become "anything" you choose to, if you put your mind to it.
