Before Annie, eight-year-old Abby sometimes felt alone and at other times, even a little sad. It wasn't like she felt sorry for herself--Abby wasn't that way. Although she was deaf, she knew it was a choice to be happy, and on her seventh birthday, Abby simply decided that being happy didn't need a reason, and that was that! Abby's mom always reminded her it was okay to express what she felt, even if it was not positive, but in a healthy way that was respectful to herself and others. Still, it was difficult for Abby to communicate what she was feeling at times. Annie, the pug, changed all that.Both Abby and Annie lived in very quiet worlds because of their deafness, not that it mattered to them though. They didn't know anything different, and neither saw it as an impediment. Instead, it deeply connected the two and served as their unique perspective of the world around them.Join Abby and Annie in this sweet and moving story as they fearlessly explore all they can reach. Learn along with them about the magnificence of nature, the power of being in the moment, the joy of gratitude, how to love, and how to be loved. Each adventure brings challenges they must face and overcome together. Experience the choices Abby and Annie make to learn and grow deeper in understanding and awareness of each other and ultimately themselves.
