Mr Mellow likes yellow....but what about red, orange, green and blue, and all the other colours too?Can his quirky animal crew persuade bright, bimodal* Mr Mellow that theres more to like than just yellow?*Mr Mellow is deaf; to help him to hear, he wears a hearing aid on one ear and a cochlear implant on the other!Mr Mellow really is a cool dude - dressed all in yellow and ready for a raucous adventure with his colourful animal crew. With each page turn, the story builds, each time adding a new colour, a new creature, a new twist to the tale... and culminating in a celebratory feast of colour!This is an inclusive childrens book starring a character who happens to be deaf, but is not specifically about hearing loss. Mr Mellow Likes Yellow is an exuberant tale about a funny and flamboyant fellow (who has a white kite that he flies at night, while balancing on his bed that is rich ruby-red) and his fantastical animal friends. The book will get kids laughing while reciting along with the rhyming verse, as it builds from page to page.The book allows children who use assistive hearing technology to see themselves represented (through the totally fabulous Mr Mellow) and shows everyone, whether they have hearing loss or not, that wearing hearing aids and/or cochlear implants is really very cool indeed!For those parents and therapists who wish to use it as a speech and language development resource, the book integrates listening and spoken language (LSL) strategies, which the author employed when teaching her own daughter (who is profoundly deaf and aided by cochlear implants) to listen and speak. These strategies include:Audition before vision: New characters and new colours are described in words on the page before we actually see them, allowing the childs brain to process the auditory information prior to the visual information.Talking ahead - what comes next? As the book introduces new colours and new characters one by one, the reader and the child can have great fun
