About a heroine with a hearing aid

Comedian Samantha Baines has written a second children’s book about a heroine with a hearing aid.

The Night the Moon Went Out, which will be published in August, is about a girl who goes on a mission to fix the moon with her owl friend, when it suddenly goes out one night.

It will be illustrated by Lucy Rogers, who is deaf, while Baines wears a hearing aid herself,

In 2019, the comic – who is an Ambassador for the Royal National Institute for Deaf people – wrote Harriet Versus The Galaxy, about a girl who discovers that her hearing aid enables her to understand the aliens who land on Earth.

Aimed at readers aged 9+, The Night the Moon Went Out will be published by Bloomsbury.
