This is a graphic novel autobiographical story of Cece when
she was a child. It tells the story of
how she went deaf at age four and how she dealt with being deaf. All fo the characters in the books are
drawn as rabbits and the book goes through Cece’s fifth grade year. She talks about how feeling self-conscious
about wearing hearing aids and how much she wants to have friends that treat
her the same as everyone else. She even
talks about her first crush. This was a
really cute story that deals with a very real issue that all kids deal with, being
accepted for who you are. Almost all
kids deal with those feelings at some time or another and Bell handles it well
in this story. It’s funny, not
preachy. A lot of kids would really like
this book.
