Dad, Jackie, and Me by Myron Uhlberg

This book is great for all ages of students. This book is great for anyone who has hearing loss or who has a parent who experienced hearing loss. This book is about the amazing relationship between a boy and his deaf father who share a love for Jackie Robinson. I would definitely have this in my future class.
