A sweet little graphic novel about the author's hearing loss at an early age.
Quite cute artwork.
AHH I loved this!! Super cute, funny, and insightful. NOT didactic but also a really useful way for hearing children to think about deafness and treating their deaf peers. Definitely a great readalike for [b:Smile 6393631 Smile (Smile, #1) Raina Telgemeier https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1256154174s/6393631.jpg 6582125]. And like Smile, I think it could have a wide appeal, from older elementary kids probably up through junior high or so. (And adults too, of course!)
This was such a sweet book! An autobiographical graphic novel about growing up deaf and making friends and first crushes and imaginary (or not-so-imaginary) superpowers. I really enjoyed this one. It gave me the warm fuzzies. :)
