Synopsis of Óyeme con los ojos

«Óyeme con los ojos» is the children's novel by Gloria Cecilia Díaz, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in paperback (88 pages, in Spanish).

Horacio is a deaf boy who communicates through sign language and lip-reading, but he doesn't want pity—he wants to be treated like a child. He lives in the Bogotá neighborhood of El Jardín del Príncipe and is curious about a house unlike the others. When he goes inside, he meets Beatriz, its lonely owner, who initially rejects him. An accident leaves Beatriz disabled and in need of help, bringing Horacio and Ofelia, her new assistant, closer in a story about accepting one's own limitations and those of others.
