Naomi Listens with Her Eyes is a gentle and affirming children's story about hearing differences, communication, and understanding the world in new ways.

Naomi listens to the world in her own way. Some sounds are quiet, and some are missing, but Naomi is always paying attention-with her eyes, her hands, and her heart.

At school, Naomi sometimes feels left out when people speak without facing her or when conversations move too quickly. One day, Naomi bravely shares something important: "I listen with my eyes." Her classmates begin to learn new ways to communicate, discovering that listening can look different for everyone.

Written in simple, child-friendly language, this story helps children understand hearing differences, communication diversity, and the importance of inclusion.

Naomi Listens with Her Eyes is part of the Fearfully and Wonderfully Made series by Charlene Pinnock, a collection of stories created to help children understand differences with empathy, kindness, and respect.

Perfect for classrooms, families, and young readers learning about empathy and accessibility, the book also includes an educational section explaining hearing differences and offering ways children and adults can support communication.
