El Deafo
by Cece Bell
4.5
This is a really fantastic novel for kids in elementary or middle school, and really for readers of all ages. My 7-year-old daughter and I picked this up because it's the story of a deaf bunny, Cece, whose story is very close to that of a child in my daughter's class. Cece has to wear a Phonic Ear, a visible, kind of bulky device that has a microphone for the teacher to speak into so that she can hear well in school. Cece is really self-conscious about it, but quickly learns that her deafness makes her unique and is part of who she is, and that her Phonic Ear gives her super hearing.
El Deafo is fantastic for kids to learn about the experience of being deaf in a hearing school, and what to do and not to do when interacting with deaf peers.
