"Nita’s First Signs is a wonderful introduction to the world of
American Sign Language for children. The book is not only
entertaining and creative with it’s depiction of signs, it
encourages the reader to go to a video source as a means to
reinforce the signs learned through real time instruction. In the
end, Nita’s First Signs demonstrates the value and fun of learning
sign language for ALL infants, toddlers, children, AND adults,
regardless of whether they are deaf or hearing or hard of
hearing."-Marlee Matlin, actress, author, and activist
"Deaf Culture, ASL, and early-childhood content were vetted by
experts, making it suitable for Deaf children or families who want
to incorporate sign into their daily routine...A handy resource for
hearing and Deaf families alike."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Kathy MacMillan has created another engaging ASL board book for
families that is sure to both entertain and educate.
In Nita's Day, Nita goes through typical routines of
babyhood. She wakes up, has a diaper change, eats, goes to the
potty, gets dressed, plays in the park, bathes, hears a bedtime
story, and goes to sleep. Cheerful illustrations accompany each of
these activities, along with sturdy pull-out peek-a-boo panels.
Exposed inside each panel is an illustration of Nita making the
sign for the activity along with a verbal description of that ASL
sign. Sturdy tabs allow readers searching for a specific sign to
find it easily. Sara Brezzi's colorful depictions of Nita and her
loving parents as they help and accompany her throughout the day
increase the joyfulness of this book. A must for every
collection."
—Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen, executive director of Mother Goose on the
