Acerca de esta escucha

In the tradition of David Pelzer's A Child Called 'It' comes the unsettling story of a mute, almost catatonic seven-year-old and the special education teacher who tries to save her from the silence and abuse of her world.

Hayden has chronicled experiences from her long career as a special education teacher in several books, including One Child and The Tiger's Child. Successes in this difficult and often frustrating field can be few and hard won, a fact which Hayden deftly illustrates while simultaneously offering hope and joy in small victories. This time she brings to life the story of a scruffy seven-year-old, Venus, who is so unresponsive that Hayden searches for signs of deafness, brain damage, or mental retardation. The author is relentless in her attempt to diagnose the cause of Venus's 'almost catatonic' state, which is punctuated by occasional violent outbursts. In this first-person narrative, Hayden also shares her own thoughts, worries, and reflections on the strained relationship with a mismatched classroom aide, creating a rich tapestry of the dynamics of a group of special needs youngsters and the adults who try to help them.

I listened to this story while driving from Tennessee to New York & back. I did not want to pause it & if interrupted I would rewind it so I didn't miss anything. As a special educator I could relate so some of what she shared & was thankful that I could only listen & imagine on another parts. I am always so grateful & thankful for my staff & administration. I felt for her as she shared the undermining & lack of support she incurred. I laughed & removed as she shared her undergoing & little victories. I believe this book would be enjoyable for anyone, but especially those of us who teach exceptional students.

Special Educators - a fantastic listen!

In Torey Hayden’s sixth book BEAUTIFUL CHILD young Venus doesn’t speak and only reacts when her space is invaded. Her violent responses threaten her placement in school. Venus and four difficult boys make for a challenging class especially with a passive-aggressive aide who thinks she knows better than Hayden.

Torey displayed nearly unending patience with Julie, her aide. I would have written her up or insisted on a new assistant much sooner. Not only was Julie noncompliant, she tacitly sabotaged Hayden’s work.

Hayden displays a better understanding of boundaries with the kids and communicates effectively with her supervisors and social services. When she suspects abuse, she goes to her boss rather than investigating, so she’s learning and growing professionally.

Venus’s story is a testament to the resilience of children, not that they ought to need to be as strong as Venus. Her story is both inspiring and heartbreaking.

i loved the book. I can't believe it. Torey Hayden has yet amazed and shock me all at once again. i enjoyed this book. A down to earth teacher. with feelings she allow to flow out no matter what's going on. we need that. Since I'm not in school it's good that I can have books like this around.

Shocking Ending

By the end of the book I felt I had spent the year in her classroom by her side. She has a way of telling her story so you are invested in all of the characters and it was compelling to watch the dramatic change she evokes out the children just by the relationships and bonds she created with them, especially Venus. Waiting for my next credit to listen to another.

Pioneer of her time
