Where is the Bird?
Launch event for Where is the Bird?, the first augmented reality storybook specifically designed to inspire the use of British Sign Language with young children and families.
“Be the first to play with the book and, if you one of the the first 20 parents to arrive, receive a free copy. There will also be a dedicated Baby BSL Colouring Corner offering free activity packs and BSL demonstrations. Draw with us, or take a pack and play in the cafe. There’s even a 10% discount at the bar for grown-ups if you order your drinks in BSL!”
To reserve an activity pack, RSVP to: [email protected]
Where is the Bird? combines illustrations, videos, print and smartphone technology to inspire families to use BSL with their children in the home or on the move.
When combined with the book, this smartphone app ‘wakes up’ the book’s hand-drawn illustrations, making them magically spring to life alongside video demonstrations of the BSL sign for that word. VIKA Books worked closely with the deaf community, including children from the Elmfield School for Deaf Children, VS1 Productions and the Deaf Studies Trust to create the work.
