The sensitivity reader was adamantly opposed to the book. But my intent was never to offend.
My first picture book is coming out soon. I should be excited, but I feel a slight dread.I was told I had no right to write this fictional story inspired by my experiences as a hearing mother of a deaf child with bilateral cochlear implants.The protagonist of the picture book is a boy with cochlear implants, like my son. Up to the decision for cochlear implants through to today, I have always wondered what my son's experience of sound is like.
I believe all our stories matter. I know the sensitivity reader has their own story that I do not and cannot fully know. And I believe it is the differences in our individual stories that make us stronger.Deafness has a whole host of choices around it, and it is absolutely true that cochlear implants are not a cure for deafness or even the best option for all deaf individuals.
