A Special Message from Deaf Author & Illustrator Lourdes Tollette For future Deaf authors... I just make the book with SignWriting and called Frosty the Snowman. It turns out so cute. First I put it into Corel Draw and fix it. Then my 13 years old son Gabriel writes different from the book. Then I can add SignWriting in American Sign Language with book.

It would be a lot of fun for young deaf author can make the book with SignWriting. They can draw any picture whatever they want and write SignWriting or on computer. I think it was good for deaf children to learn with SignWriting to make a book. It doesn't have to be from any book but they can make up the story on their own.

I gave Val with very nice book that I write SignWriting with Frosty the Snowman. She was very surprise and very happy with this book.

Hope you enjoy to read Frosty the Snowman!
