The Queen Needs Ears to Hear (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781470535421)

In the Land of the Deaf, Queen Elara's single ear makes her the kingdom's most vital listener. When three monsters-a Wendigo, a mermaid, and a gremlin-attack, they shatter the citizens' way of life by breaking their hands to destroy sign language.

Inspired by the proverb about the one-eyed man in the land of the blind, the story shows how a limitation can become a strength. Faced with silence, Elara leads her people to invent a new language of glances and stomps. They devise clever traps for each monster using the very things the creatures left behind.

Through ingenuity and unity, the kingdom triumphs. Elara's journey culminates in a hopeful union with the One-Eyed King, proving that every difference can be a strength and that teamwork is the most powerful voice of all.
