Summary

"The Deaf Shoemaker: To Which Are Added Other Stories for the Young" by Philip Barrett is a selection of encouraging stories from the 1800s that teach kids about being strong, faithful, and good. The book tells how important it is to act right, be nice, and love others, even when things are hard. The stories share the tale of a brave man named John McDonough, who saves people from a crashing ship and shows how being strong and faithful is important. Then, the story of a shoemaker who can't hear teaches that what really matters is who you are and what you do for others, not what you can't do. These starting stories set the tone for the rest of the book, which is full of lessons about how to live a good life.
