Love Sounds Like – Author Signed Copy + Free Digital Activity Pack

Author: Hannah Jessen Conway

Celebrate the many ways we experience love in this endearing children’s bedtime tale, written in soothing rhyme and featuring a heartwarming conversation between a hearing mother and her deaf son.

Before young Shepherd removes his cochlear implant processors at night, he asks his mama what love sounds like. Using poetic and playful dialogue, they explore not just what love sounds like, but what it smells, feels, tastes, and looks like. Together, they discover that love is much more than a sound.
