Love Sounds Like, the debut children's book by Hannah Jessen Conway, has captured hearts and received a coveted five-star rating from Readers' Favorite. This rhyming, read-aloud picture book weaves a poetic and playful conversation between a hearing mother and her deaf son, inspired by Conway's personal journey with her own son, who was born profoundly deaf.

Love is a multi-sensory experience."
