It's My Story: Duke the Deaf Dog Series Chapter Book

Baldi, Caterina: - Italian illustrator Caterina Baldi is also an author and translator. Her grandmother became deaf as a girl following meningitis, and everyone in the house talked to her by lipreading and invented gestures known as "home signs." Caterina connected with Duke's story because her mother is also deaf in one ear and doesn't like missing out on meaningful conversations. Settenove published Caterina's picture book Three Cats in the Sink in May 2022. Caterina doesn't own any pets, but the dogs and cats in her neighbourhood are all her friends.
