hopeful informative medium-paced

A great look at the challenges of being a deaf child in the US in the mid-'70s, and of the struggles of being a kid in general.

Adorable. Loved seeing her life as a deaf person coming of age. It’s such a good reminder that being deaf is different for everyone and just being a kind friend is enough. I definitely learned a lot too. Such an amazing book for kids and adults.

A wonderful book that supports disability inclusion, this is a story about a young girl who loses her hearing from meningitis and how she navigates the world as a person with significant hearing loss. Cece is sweet and funny and like all kids, just wants to be accepted, but her hearing others her in a way that she believes her peers find strange. Cece’s story is not unique as it portrays an important element of the disability experience for those of us who are not disabled.
