Sleeping Beauty page 15

She isn't not asking the baby if she understands. This is a classic ASL conjuntion. It is just like saying "But..." So she is saying that "she will not die, but sleep."

You're right about WON'T... in this case, I don't think the SignPuddle 
version is accurate to what she signs so I'm going to keep it with the 
straight-back arrow, but I will move the handshape.

Thank you for attaching the sign for DEAD, though -  duh!  I should have 
realized myself that I didn't need both the beginning and ending positions! 
:-)  That's a lot cleaner than what I wrote.

Why would she ask the baby if she understands?  I believe you, but it 
doesn't make much sense to me...  I'll change that along with the others.  
Thank you so much!
