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.
