Deaf people can do anything that hearing people can do. The 24-page children's book Carl Goes on a Field Trip, part of the Carl Can series, promotes positive perspectives on self-advocacy and shows how Carl stands up for himself so he can participate during a field trip.

The 24-page fiction book also includes a "words to know" vocabulary list and comprehension questions to keep the learning going. Carl was introduced in our Katie Can series, based on our best-selling book of the same title. In the story, Katie becomes friends with her early-elementary classmate Carl through her familiarity with basic ASL. We are continuing with Carl's story in the new and inclusive Carl Can series. This children's book was reviewed by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services.
