PICTURE BOOKS
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Henri Sørensen & Henri Sørensen. A boy tells about his father, who is deaf and works in a printing plant; in the 1940s the noisy setting was seen as a perfect spot for deaf workers. Using sign language, his father saves the day when he spots flames inside the plant, communicating the danger to others in the factory. His heroism reinforces the love and respect his son feels for him. Handsome paintings convey the story's emotion.
