Signs of joy

Dunedin children’s performer Rainbow Rosalind is helped by siblings (from left) Wish (8), Betty (7) and Bash (5) Skinley to put the finishing touches to her new music video The Sign Language Song.

The three siblings, who are all deaf, star in the video that helps children learn short sign language phrases in an entertaining way.

The children said they enjoyed taking part in recording the video, and Bash especially enjoyed pretending to be an angel playing a trumpet.

The music video was funded by New Zealand on Air and will be released to coincide with New Zealand Sign Language Week which runs next week from May 9 to 15.
