My Brother John by Joanne Zellweger
Finding an illustrated children's book with a character with a cochlear implant is not easy.
Joanne Zellweger's new book My Brother John features just such a character. The book is
described as being "A humorous children's book that shows a typical day in the life of a
brother and sister and the fun and mischief they get up to." Inspired by John Tracy Clinic's
sibling programme in Los Angeles, My Brother John is written from a sibling's perspective
and raises some of the basic issues the hearing sibling faces with having a brother who is
deaf and uses a cochlear implant and hearing aid. The book is wonderfully illustrated by
Andy Elliott, who has worked very closely with parents to produce colourful illustrations that
mums, dads and children will want to discuss. Children with implants and hearing aids seem
to be under represented in children's books and when it comes to rehabilitation for children
with cochlear implants, reading and sharing books is so important for language
development.

Here is a new dressing-up book that's really fun with captivating illustrations. It's time for
John to get ready for school, but John keeps getting it wrong! My Brother John readers will

on provides a comforting safety net. Favourite nursery rhymes and songs, with babies and toddlers,
signing and miming along. Developed with the support of Lancashire C.C. Early Years and Childcare
Service, and SureStart Resources Ltd. as part of their 'Sing, Sign & Rhyme' series, these books
encourage actions through mime and BSL signs.
