autobiographical graphic novel about a deaf girl's struggle with friends, identity and confidence.
Quick and engaging read, well executed GN. Lacking 5th star because strikes me as having limited kid appeal, but i'd be glad to be wrong.

Wow! I found this book while perusing recommendations for BookRiot's Read Harder Challenge 2017 (category: Read an all-ages comic). As a deaf person, the title caught my eye, and I decided to go for it. Boy, am I glad I did! This really captures some of the defining moments of my own childhood growing up deaf in a hearing world, and I truly related so much to the main character's experiences. I think it's a great read for anyone who might want to better understand some of the struggles and shame that deaf people might experience as children and even as adults. Great read!
Sweet book showcasing diversity for older elementary kids.

This one came across my radar because Waxahatchee created the soundtrack for the currently streaming TV show. It's an eye opening and emotional look at what it's like to lose your hearing as a little kid.
This was a really cute representation of Cece's experience growing up. Even though her experience is not the same as all deaf people's--I recommend reading the author's note for more-- this is an important story that I would recommend to everyone interested in learning more about deafness. As someone who has experience mostly with people involved in the Deaf community, I really loved the perspective that Cece shared.

Finishing this in the Coldplay merchandise waiting line was certainly and experience lol
I sometimes find myself dreading finishing graphic novels because the dialogue feels long and drawed-out: but this didn’t have that. It was delightful from start to finish. This is the type of graphic novel that reminds me why I love the genre
