El Deafo by Cece Bell

5.0

This graphic novel is excellent from the very detailed animation to the variety of themes and life events that occur for the main character (who is based on the author). It would be great for teaching empathy and perspective taking as it addresses a subject not often talked about in society, let alone children's literature--disability. Bell offers a glimpse into how hard it can be to be different from your peers, while also demonstrating that embracing those differences empowers us.
