Ronnie has plenty to say. He just needs the people around him to understand how he says it.
Diagnosed with hearing loss at just two years old and living with Usher syndrome, Ronnie experiences the world a little differently. Sometimes conversations move too quickly. Sometimes he misses what others are saying. And sometimes being surrounded by people does not mean feeling included.
But Ronnie's world begins to change when the people who love him begin changing, too.
His mom starts learning American Sign Language. Friends discover how to communicate with him. Teachers learn simple ways to make their classroom more accessible. Little by little, Ronnie finds more ways to connect, participate, and simply be part of what is happening around him. The manuscript centers this growing access through ASL, family, friendship, and a community learning to communicate with Ronnie.
Then Ronnie gets something pretty amazing: a hearing aid for one ear and a cochlear implant for the other.
His magic ears introduce him to sounds he has never experienced in quite the same way before. Birds. Barking dogs. Familiar voices. Yet Ronnie's story is about much more than hearing. His magic also lives in the hands that sign to him, the people willing to learn, and the connections that grow when communication becomes accessible.
King Ron's Magic Ears is a heartfelt children's story celebrating Deaf and hard of hearing children, American Sign Language, hearing aids, cochlear implants, family, friendship, accessibility, and belonging.
Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries, educators, audiologists, and anyone helping children understand that there is more than one way to communicate and more than one way to experience the world.
Because Ronnie's ears may be magical...
but being understood might be the greatest magic of all.
