Silent Lotus
"Reading Rainbow" is a magazine program for children that introduces a wide range of educational topics that teach them about the world, inspire them to read, and give them ideas about what they could achieve when they get older. In this episode, host LeVar Burton talks with his deaf friend Terry Lean about what being deaf is like and the different ways deaf people communicate. She also teaches LeVar a few phrases in American Sign Language. Lea Salonga narrates SILENT LOTUS, a book about a girl born deaf who learns how to express herself through dance. Brothers Brian and Justin talk about their close relationship despite Brian's deafness. Justin, who knows sign language, speaks about how deaf kids are just like hearing kids. Hearing and deaf kids who participate in a special dance class discuss the experience and how they learned to communicate and become friends. Kids review THE HANDMADE ALPHABET, HAND RHYMES, and AMY: THE STORY OF A DEAF CHILD.
