POP-UP BOOK RELEASED BY TEXAS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF ALUM ABOUT DEAF CULTURE, HISTORY AND JOKES IN ASL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin, Texas \u2013 Author, Rebecca S. \u201cBecky\u201d Gage, a 1988 graduate of Texas School for the Deaf (TSD), recently released an innovative pop-up book all about Deaf culture, history, jokes and stories, aptly titled, \u201cHow Much Do You Know About\u2026American Sign Language and Deaf Culture, History, Jokes, and Stories?\u201d<\/p>\n

An event and author signing will be held next month at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

When scanned, QR codes included allow readers to tap right in to signers sharing classic and anecdotal Deaf jokes that are funny, educational and entertaining.<\/p>\n

Along with signers of various ages and nationalities, the author promotes inclusivity of all abilities throughout the book, including those who are Deafblind.<\/p>\n

TSD Superintendent, Claire Bugen, fondly recalls the author.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn identical twin, Becky was a cheerleader and vice president of her senior class when she was a student, then later came back to TSD as a high school math teacher.<\/p>\n

I mostly remember her creativity, and am so excited that she will be recognized, and her book celebrated next month, in Washington D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n

Author, Rebecca S. \u201cBecky\u201d Gage currently lives in California, and teaches at California School for the Deaf in Riverside. An inventor of a successful board game, known as \u201cASLingo,\u201d Gage\u2019s new book, \u201cHow Much Do You Know About American Sign Language and Deaf Culture, History, Jokes, and Stories\u201d was inspired by her son, Joviah, and with filial support from daughter, Zamica, and younger son, Andaz, who all teamed up with others to turn the book into an amazing three-dimensional experience. The innovative pop-up book tells eight classic jokes about life in a Deaf world, and includes over 50 QR codes to illustrate and dramatize the contents of the colorful 3-D learning and entertainment experience. Illustrations by Salvador Sanchez, a native New Yorker, and talented Deaf multimedia artist responsible for all the dramatic artwork in the book.
