His picture books are a nostalgic testament to everything he loves: family, Brooklyn, and baseball. The son of deaf parents, he was taught a passion for reading, writing, and communication by using the written word, the spoken word, and American Sign Language.
Uhlberg has written four books for children that are based in part on his life. For him, writing is a way to relive his childhood, "transmuting childhood events into magical imaginary experiences." He has used childhood experiences to create fiction that all young readers—deaf and hearing alike—can enjoy.
During this program, the author talks about Dad, Jackie, and Me; and visiting students share a contemporary twist on Myron Uhlberg's personal story.
