Description
Sometimes I Talk, Sometimes I Sign
Written by Dr. Anne McIntosh
Sometimes I Talk, Sometimes I Sign celebrates the beauty of communication in all its forms. Written by Dr. Anne McIntosh and dedicated to Safe’N’Clear, Inc., this heartwarming story follows Sarah Ana, a bright young girl growing up in a family that uses both spoken English and American Sign Language (ASL).
Through Sarah Ana’s eyes, readers discover how her hearing mother, a nurse who wears a clear mask at work, and her deaf father, a mail carrier, make communication accessible and inclusive for everyone they meet. From birthday parties to bedtime stories, Sarah Ana shows that understanding one another doesn’t depend on sound alone—it depends on seeing, signing, and connecting.
This 25th Anniversary Edition honors Safe’N’Clear’s mission to make communication safe, clear, and inclusive for all. With warm illustrations and gentle storytelling, the book encourages children, parents, and educators to embrace sign language as a bridge between worlds—one that helps every voice, spoken or signed, be seen and heard.
As Dr. McIntosh writes, “Communication is more than words.” And as Kathy Clark reminds us, “Sign language is for everyone.”
