Cece Bell

What a great medium to tell this story, I’ve pretty much loved every graphic memoir I’ve read in the last few years. Cece’s story is another important one for all children to read.

With candor and humor, Cece Bell describes her experiences growing up deaf in this graphic memoir for kids.
funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

This is a wonderful and honest book. 

This is such a sweet and empathetic read. As an ASL speaker and someone who has advocated for people with additional needs my whole life-- this book still taught me things, and reminded me of things. The first being how hard it is for someone who feels different to speak up! To self advocate instead going along with the crowd just to have friends. Great book. Everyone with kids should share it together.
challenging emotional funny inspiring sad fast-paced

A sweetly written story that felt true to childhood. The first-person story of Cece Bell as a child with a severe hearing impairment and all her insecurities, which ultimately become her “superpowers”. Very cute and a nice way for kids to read a fun graphic novel and have some good discussions about empathy.

Great read-a-like for Smile and/or Wonder

Bravo. A perfect book, in every way. I’m unable to write intelligently about it. I just love it and want more.
