Abi is a 4-year-old girl who is deaf, presented as having lost her hearing following an illness just before she turned 2 years old, while Catrin is Abi's 9-year-old sister.
History
editThe series' first book is My very special dog. Evans created the books with a view to help children learn sign language which could support all children's communication. The method would support all children with or without a verbal/audio communication access need to converse more effectively together, while also creating a sign-supporting learning environment so children could develop their English and Welsh.[1]
Each book has a dedicated sign lesson that is digitally accessed from each book. The lessons cover areas such as the alphabet, numbers, animals, colours, and many more.[2]
The books are used as part of the Abi Project and are the main resource to teach BSL to children who attend mainstream primary school setting[3]
