The Lazy Elephant is an app that tells a moral story to teach young children about the ethics and values of family and hard work. It is a tale of a curious young elephant who was smart but too lazy to work and to learn how to find food until he followed his friends into the woods and got lost. He had to endure the hunger and learned a few valuable lessons that would change him forever. Children will enjoy the young elephant’s mishaps and adventures, the rich ASL storytelling, and the captivating illustrations. This bilingual app features a 144-word signed and fingerspelled vocabulary index! The Lazy Elephant app is also available in Thailand Sign Language and Thai. Made possible by a collaboration with Gallaudet University's Motion Light Lab (part of the Visual Language and Visual Learning Center), and the National Association of Deaf Thailand, with support from the US Embassy Bangkok, and the US Department of State.
