My Thoughts:

Mickey on the Move is a heartfelt story inspired by a true story, about a boy named Mickey who has overcome and adapted to his life even though he was born deaf. Mickey is starting a new school and he is starting it with the continued help of his mother and his best friends. But this time is different, he will be doing things much more independently.

There is something that happens and the teacher lets his mother know as it could become an issue. I liked that the mom and the teacher talked it out and didn't jump to conclusions, but came up with a probable reason and a great solution. It happened to show teamwork with the parent and school, and Mickey and his friends.

This story shows that with a little bit of patience and ingenuity you can make the best of your world.  The artwork is simple and done well and pulls the reader into the atmosphere of Mickey's life.
