167 - Mighty Mila: Children's Book Series Helping Redefine Hearing Loss Narratives
This week, host Shari Eberts talks with Katie Petruzziello, the author of "Mighty Mila," a children's book that celebrates the adventures of a young girl with cochlear implants. Unlike many traditional hearing loss books, Mighty Mila focuses on showcasing children's abilities and adventures, regardless of their hearing abilities.
Katie shares her family's hearing loss journey and the inspiration behind the book, emphasizing the importance of representation and awareness. She also discusses how parents and educators can use the book as a tool to foster vocabulary, listening skills, and communication while breaking down the stigma around hearing loss. Additionally, Katie announces the upcoming release of her second book in the Mighty Mila series, "Mighty Mila Dream Job," and her book donation program to support children with hearing loss.
