Kami and the Yaks by Andrea Stenn Stryer
I really enjoyed this story about a deaf Sherpa boy in Nepal that braves a Himalayan storm to find his family’s herd of Yaks. He finds them around a young calf that is stuck and cannot seem to dislodge his leg. He realizes that he needs help and goes down the mountain to get his brother and father. Kami lets them know about the stuck yaks through mime. This is a great story that allows the reader to see that even though someone has a disability they have different strengths in other areas. Kami was deaf, but his other senses were still very strong. I feel that this story allows the reader to accept the fact that a disability should not deter you from doing things or taking risks.
