ASL (American Sign Language) from Yesterday’s Tides

Special thanks to ASL teacher Deanna Davidson, who not only helped me describe all the signs in the book, she also created these videos!
Here are chapter-by-chapter examples of the signs used in the book.
Chapter 1
“Thank you.”
“Time to race the sun.”
Chapter 5
“You okay?”
“Call Garrett.”
“Who?”
“Name none. English navy, he said.”
“Stays. Lives.”
Chapter 6
“Good morning.”
King. Prince. Lord.
Louisa.
Rem.
Chapter 13
“Everything doubt?”
“Yes.”
“Allow.”
Chapter 17
“Sure?”
“Together.”
“Yours also. Two of us need.”
Chapter 20
“Need? Yell.”
“No, no. One minute.”
Chapter 22
“Who bring?”
Chapter 25
“M-A-N-S-F-E-L-D listening?”
“Friends here.”

“I love you.”
“Let’s go save your friend.”
Chapter 26
“You want not, but truth.”
Chapter 28
“I knew the way of spies before you were a twinkle in your mother’s eye.”
(ASL would render this “before your mother thought about and knew about you.”)
