As the largest and only deaf student at her school, Emma the elephant often feels singled out. Anthony the ant feels different too, being the smallest student at his school, and the only one with hearing loss and cerebral palsy. But when the two find each other-and a mutual love of sunsets-they become fast friends and discover that there is beauty in what makes us different, and serenity in shared experiences.

Autorenporträt
Mike Dorsey originally wrote The Silent Sunset as a poem in 1995 during an undergraduate internship that had nothing to do with writing. He held on to the poem for the next twenty-seven years, hoping it would someday become a children's book. As a deaf person with cerebral palsy, Mike understands how it can be challenging to smile upon life in a society where most people don't understand what it's like to be different. People with disabilities have proven to him that life can be like a sunset; it beautifies one's troubled soul to make friends with another person who struggles. Mike is also the author of the memoir Wake Up Annie Mather! He holds a master's degree in social work and is married with two children. He and his family live in Pittsford, New York.
