There is a major difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is the simple act of being able to notice and process sound while listening takes more effort. When you listen, you really pay attention and try to understand what is being heard. Even though deaf people may not be able hear what is happening around them, they still have the great ability to LISTEN.
This book focuses on the stories and experiences of four different deaf people and aims to get hearing people to stop and try and listen.
