El Deafo by Cece Bell

El Deafo is about a bunny that has meningitis and ends up losing her hearing and is made to wear a hearing device on her chest to hear her teacher. But her teacher forgets to turn it off so she ends up hearing more than she would like too. She encounters the dilemmas a person who has loss of hearing. Her main goal is to find a friend who accepted her difference. In order for her to deal with her awkwardness she defines her hearing aid as a superpower because she can hear what other children cannot hear and is often laughing with herself.

This book is great for children with some form of disability because she makes her Hearing Impairments as a superpower. She over comes her challenges by making light of the situation and even comical. At the end she finds hope to her loneliness by finding Martha a friend that does not care what her disability is. Cece wrote a graphic novel that is also telling the story of her youth. Other books with the same theme are Sisters, and The Dumbest Idea Ever, Lets hear it for Amigail and I am deaf.

 They are graphic novel memoirs that have a big problem but turn it around by making light of the situation and overcoming the obstacles in their way. The first graphic novel to win a Newberry Honor!
