Storybook page shows a fox in a tutu holding her hand up toward a gold bird in a meadow. Text reads, “‘What a striking bird you are with gold beneath your wing!’ The fox then grinned and asked the finch, ‘Please show us how you sing?’” At the bottom, we see the American Sign Language signs for the letters F-I-N-C-H.

Ada is a dancing fox who is deaf. One day while on her way to dance in a talent show, she meets three other animals who are each facing a physical challenge of their own.
