Adorable Seven Year Old Uses Sign Language To Read The Polar Express

Shaylee Mansfield has been sharing her sign language Xmas stories since she was four.

Shaylee Mansfield, who was born deaf, is the daughter of Sheena McFeely and Manny Johnson who are also deaf signers. They run a popular website ASL Nook where people can learn about American sign language.

According to her mother, Shaylee has always had a deep love of books and storytelling.

"From day one, Shaylee has been and will always be a book worm. In fact, when she cried as a baby, a book would magically wipe her tears away," McFeely said.

This is the fourth time Shaylee has delighted the world with her story telling skills. At the age of four she read The Night Before Christmas.

At five, she took on How The Grinch Stole Christmas and in 2015 she delighted us with her take on Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer.

So treat yourself to this beautiful re-telling of The Polar Express, like you've never seen before.
