Myron Uhlberg

The Printer Myron Uhlberg

Each day, a young boy watches as his father goes off to work in a noisy printing factory. But the boy s father only hears the machines loud pounding and rumbling as vibrations through the soles of his shoes; he is deaf. Although his father communicates with a few other deaf printers through his hands, he feels largely cut off from and ignored by his hearing co-workers. Then when a silent deadly fire erupts in the noisy pressroom, it is up to the father to save his fellow workers. But how will he tell them of the danger when they cannot hear him?
