3-in-1 OMNIBUS EDITION! A trilogy of social stories starring the eight Bear Buddies, one of whom is deaf and wears cochlear implants, teaching children how to get help when someone else needs it as well as how to self-advocate and help themselves, all while on a team quest to find a lost cochlear implant. Book 1: A HELPING HAND Oh no! Bobby Bear has hurt himself and needs help! What will the Bear Buddies do? How will they call for help and from whom? The story models some key vocabulary and simple language to use when asking for help, labelling different parts of the playground and describing what happened and why help is needed. When it arrives in the form of Miss Teacher Bear and a big medical box, we learn how playground bumps and scrapes are treated and discuss why it's important to call for help from a grown-up. BOOK 2: LOST AND FOUND Another mishap! Onna Bear has lost one of her cochlear implants - it's fallen off her ear and no-one can find it! Miss Teacher Bear devises a plan to search for the missing magic ear, with the entire Bear Buddies team lending a hand. The story demonstrates the importance of self-advocacy and asking for help when you need it while modelling key language and vocabulary to help children learn to help themselves. BOOK 3: SUPERPOWERS! Harry Bear simply cannot understand how Onna Bear's cochlear implants stick to her head. Does she have mystical superpowers? As Onna Bear explains how her magic ears work, we learn some fascinating key facts about cochlear implants and why modern hearing technology is so amazing. Harry Bear wishes he had superpowers just like bionic Onna Bear, so Sala Bear reminds him that all the Bear Buddies do already possess special superpowers - the superpowers of friendship (and super-hula-powers too, but that's another story!) 10 BONUS PARTICIPATION PAGES included to help children put their learning into practice with fun, conversation-filled activities!

Autorenporträt
Having lived most of her life in the African wilderness with elephants literally on her doorstep, but now settled in Cambridgeshire, UK, Tanya Saunders is a writer, artist, lover of wild places and mother to twin daughters, one of whom is profoundly deaf and wears cochlear implants (her 'magic ears'). Tanya believes that deaf children deserve the same opportunities in life as everyone else; it is not for us to set limits on what they can achieve but rather to give them the platform they need to learn, grow, and attain their goals as equals alongside their hearing peers. Tanya is a Parent Ambassador for Auditory Verbal UK (AVUK), an aspirational organisation that teaches deaf children to listen and speak. Her writing is inspired by her own family's speech and language journey with AVUK, alongside the numerous other specialists, friends and family members who, as a team, have made such life-changing contributions to her daughter's odyssey into the hearing and speaking world. Although not a professional therapist herself, as a 'parent practitioner' of auditory verbal therapy traveling this road alongside her daughters, Tanya's personal experience and observations can provide helpful insights for other families on the same path. Her vibrantly illustrated stories encourage deaf children to reach for the stars and reassure them that, while it may not be easy, all the hard work involved in learning to listen and speak will be worth it in the end.Tanya blogs about parenting a deaf child alongside a hearing sibling at: www.avidlanguage.com/hearsay-blog
