Moses Goes to a Concert

Composed with the help of educators at New York City's School for the Deaf, this book provides a hands-on introduction to American Sign Language with easy-to-follow diagrams of signs accompanying the bright, cheerful pictures and the hand alphabet at the end of the book. Moses and his schoolmates, all deaf, attend a concert where the orchestra's percussionist is also deaf. Full-color illustrations.

Isaac Millman tells Moses Goes to a Concert in pictures and written English, and in American Sign Language (ASL), introducing hearing children to the signs for some of the key words and ideas.

Moses and his school friends are deaf, but like most children, they have a lot to say. They communicate in American Sigh Language, using visual signs and facial expressions. This is called signing. And even though they can't hear, they can enjoy many activities through their other senses. Today, Moses and his classmates are going to a concert. Their teacher, Mr. Samuels, has two surprises in store for them, to make this particular concert a special event.

You can learn sign language, too! At the end of the book are two full conversations in sign language and a page showing the hand alphabet.
