5-Year-Old Girl Surprises Her Deaf Parents By Performing Her Entire School Concert in Sign Language

Updated on 12/14/2015 at 12:52 PM

Any performance that includes small children singing songs together is a total cuteness win in itself, but one little girl unintentionally stole the show at her school's holiday concert, only adding to the level of adorable. In a video that was posted to YouTube two Christmases ago, Claire Koch — who went viral and made headlines — signed throughout her entire holiday concert so that her parents, both of whom are deaf, could enjoy the show. Back in 2013 her mother Lori commented on the performance, "I didn't ask her, it wasn't expected, it was just a surprise."

Claire made her parents' Christmas that year, and we have a feeling that watching this heartwarming act may just make your day.
