關於這本電子書

A cute and fun easy-to-follow children’s book. I love the fun rhymes along with the education about deafness, and especially the addition of sign language. — Rikki Poynter, Content Creator, Writer, Accessibility Consultant & Public Speaker

This book would be perfect for a child that is just a little different… or who has a classmate or friend who is. — Jamie Jack, Goodreads

Looking for a picture book about microtia? A sweet and gentle way to introduce disability and diversity to children? Jojo's Tiny Ear is charming, hand-illustrated book for kids that tells the story of the author's son, Jojo, and his hearing disability.

Jojo is a happy boy who loves fireworks, the zoo, swings, and trucks! He was also born with a hearing disability. In this inspiring, child-friendly kid's book about hearing disability, written by his mother, Jojo will tell you all about his favorite things. He'll also answer your questions about his tiny ear and show you that his disability doesn't stop him from enjoying his life!

Author and illustrator Stefania Munzi-Logus writes lovingly, but informatively, about her son, his condition, and how to communicate with people with hearing disabilities.

"Be proud of what makes you, you.

We all thrive with our own technique.

You are valuable too.

The world is more beautiful when we are all unique."

This is a picture book about microtia. But the real message for kids and parents alike is that differences are ok and that everybody is a little bit different!

關於作者

Artist and art teacher Stefania Munzi-Logus graduated Magna Cum Laude from Albertus Magnus College with a BA in Fine Arts and was awarded the Beverly Chieffo Award for Excellence in 2012.

After a difficult pregnancy, including a life-threatening bout with pre-eclampsia, Stefania, a Wallingford-based art teacher who teaches in the Hartford Public School system, gave birth to her first son, Joseph in 2019. Healthy in all other ways, Joseph was born with microtia, meaning that he has an undeveloped ear and the ear canal is blocked.

In the process of getting all the follow-up appointments required for Joseph’s condition, during the start of an unprecedented global pandemic, Stefania, who had taught at The Grove School for children with special needs, realized that she had never met a child with microtia and that there was very little representation out there. She began doing portraits of Jojo that featured his “tiny” ear and hearing aid. As she shared them in communities for the hard of hearing, she got a lot of requests to paint other people’s children. In the process, the local NBC station and papers picked up her story. Many members of the disability community were grateful for her work portraying difference, instead of hiding it!

That positive attention led her to write Jojo’s Tiny Ear as a kind of love poem to her son. The picture book about microtia features some of those first portraits of Jojo.
