Ada is a dancing, deaf fox with cochlear implants who loves to help others. On her way to dance in a talent show one day, she meets three other creatures who are each facing a physical challenge or disability of their own. She decides to help each of her new friends to see past their challenges and discover their natural, God-given strengths. But can they help her in return? Ada's a bit nervous about the talent show!
Will she be able to hear the music clearly?
Will everyone laugh at her?

NOTEWORTHY REVIEWS
"The story of Ada and the Helpers is language rich and weaves the use of American Sign Language Alphabet throughout as the pages teach new vocabulary words related to this magical story. I really enjoyed how Ada met a diverse group of new friends along her journey and how they all found their strengths to form a bond to help each other. This book is a must for all families!!! "

" It is not often that a story about a disability is so well done ... What an important message to convey to kids right now - 'let's help others too.' Hopefully, this is not the last we will see of Ada and her friends!"
