Even with her hearing aid, Kaylee works harder than anyone knows just to keep up.
Kaylee loves running fast and hanging out with her best friend Zoe. But when background noise fills the cafeteria or gym, even her new hearing aid can't help her catch every word. Missing instructions in PE class is frustrating, and embarrassing.
With Field Day coming up and the relay race on the line, Kaylee needs a solution. When her audiologist introduces her to a small wireless microphone, it might be exactly what she needs, if she can find the courage to ask her teacher to wear it in front of everyone.
This week, Kaylee will learn that the right tools can help, that speaking up gets a little easier with practice, and that sometimes the biggest changes start with something small.
A realistic, empowering story about finding your voice, one small step at a time.
A Little Mic, A Big Change tells a heartfelt, realistic story about what it's like to navigate school with hearing loss: misunderstandings, frustration, courage, and all. Filled with friendship, teamwork, humor, and hope, this book empowers every kid to be a better communicator and a stronger ally.
Perfect for readers ages 8-13, classrooms, book clubs, and anyone who's ever felt lost in the noise.
