What's it like to have a deaf father? As Conan explains, it's not so different--but it's always interesting. Conan tells how his father Henry Kisor learned to read and speak, made his way through "regular" schools, and grew up to be a newspaper editor and author. Conan also describes the challenges of lipreading and the technological advances that have made communication easier for his dad.
"In a positive, upbeat manner, a boy tells about what it's like to have a deaf father...Humorous happenings and mishaps show a man who views deafness not as a handicap, but as a challenge, and lend immediacy to a topic that otherwise might not capture the interest of most children."--School Library Journal
