On each page you will find a clear photo of Emma or Elvin signing a letter of the Auslan alphabet, along with an illustration of the correct finger position.
In addition, there is a helpful guide to some everyday Auslan words and phrases such as Hello, My Name and Thank You. At the back of the book is a QR code linking to the Auslan videos for all of Emma Memma’s books.
The delightfully designed book is illuminated by hard-of-hearing illustrator and graphic designer Amy Josephine Wright. Her joyful images beautifully compliment the photographs in the book. Amy has also designed Auslan ABC flashcards which would be a useful companion to the Emma Memma: Auslan Alphabet.
This book is perfect for all ages to learn how to communicate with Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. I shared it with my family members aged 4-84 and they all enjoyed learning how to sign their names and some basic words and greetings.
Emma Memma: Auslan Alphabet is an important and accessible book, perfect for anyone beginning their journey to learning Auslan. It is highly recommended for both the home and the classroom as a resource to inspire knowledge and communication.
