An amazing evening celebrating “Hi, I’m Kai!”

We were especially proud to host this book release and meet the author party for one of our very own CHC parents - making the celebration even more meaningful for our community. From hearing the inspiration behind Kai’s story to the children receiving their very own signed copies, it was truly an unforgettable and special celebration. Moments like this remind us just how important it is for children with hearing loss to see themselves in the stories they read. Representation matters!

Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us!
