In a graphic novel, Ms. Bell relates the trials and humorous moments growing up being hearing impaired.
Very insightful-can help facilitate discussions on kindness and how to interact with the hearing impaired or anyone who has a disability/impairment.
Ms. Bell also handles the ups and downs of friends and first crushes with humor and sensitivity.
A memoir.
Points to discuss/warnings: Cece overhears her teacher swear-the word is written in the book (pg. 41) and the illustrations depict teachers taking a smoke break. pg. 162 she lipreads someone saying the word for fudge "but for real" (actual word is not written but can infer easily). Cece develops a crush on a boy. pg. 203-word breast is mentioned-not inappropriately but she sort interprets it that way.
*Highly recommend.
