Jill's First Day of School

The first day at a new school can be very scary, especially when you are deaf and meeting classmates for the first time who don't have any problem hearing each other.

Jill's First Day of School tells a true story based on the life of a ten-year-old girl, born deaf, who is trying to fit into a hearing world that she will find full of challenges. Her courage and persistence, with the help of her mother and a special school called Central Institute for the Deaf (CID), give the ten-year-old the ability to succeed.

Overcoming anxiety (and a doubting new classmate) are all part of her experience. All is well when Jill returns home from school and gets a great surprise!

Jill's success can be a model for every child facing their own worries in developing friendships and keeping a positive attitude.

Annie and Tony Wessler hope you enjoy their first book, based on stories told to Annie by her own mom about her sister Jill and CID.
