Watching MoonBird show marvelously done by I Theater. I was overwhelm. Firstly, because I had just attended the talk by MoonBird’s creator Joyce Dunbar and was inspired. Secondly, knowing myself, that will never understand fully by just reading through on my own.

This MoonBird picture book is indeed talking about the deaf. Joyce and Jane had crafted this in such a beautiful manner one will forget where they are. We were drifted into the fairy tale of a magical world where deaf is no longer a handicap but a wise being.

In reality, we always assume deaf is a disability. Like the word in Malay ” orang kurang upaya” which means -people that need help. We could just try to understand them instead of blindly helping them. Deaf people can do wonders! Look at our write Joyce Dunbar, she does wonders in her writing. She opens our heart, she make us cry, laugh and wonder. More example, Ganville Redmond, the famous American artist whose work was collected by many, Douglas Tilden, the Famous sculptor who sometimes refered to as the “Michelangelo of the west”… many more.
