El Deafo

In this funny and painful memory of graphic novels, author / illustrator Cece Bell recorded her youthful hearing loss and subsequent Phonic Ear experience, a very powerful and clumsy hearing aid. Phonic Ear allowed Cece to listen (including what she did not want to hear), but it also separated her from her classmates. She really wants to find a real friend, a person who highly appreciates her like herself. After some problems she was able to finally use the power of Phonic Ear to become "El Deafo, Listener". More importantly, Cece announced places for himself in the world and found a friend she admires.

2015 El Deafo of Cece Bell of Newbery Honor Book also received comments from Kirkus Review and Publishers Weekly. El Deafo's Newbery honor "Excellent Contribution to Children's Literature" is the first person to publish graphic novels. In this memoir, Cece Bell discusses her challenge to a young girl after losing their hearing in a humorous and sincere way. No one likes a different thing, and it is of course not useful to wear a bulky hearing aid tied to the chest. I read El Deafo and noticed that there were severe severe hearing impairment, loneliness when communicating, and in some respects similarities. The important thing is to find inner strength to accept our weaknesses and differences, and it will become stronger by that. Read the full story

El Deafo is a graphic novel written and interpreted by Cece Bell. This book is about loose autobiography of Bell's childhood era, and is making a living from her hearing impaired. However, all the characters in the book are rabbits. In an interview with Horn Book Magazine, Cece Bell says "What is the famous one of rabbits? Big ears, superb listening" makes irony for the characters she chose and their hearing loss. With a hearing aid she could listen to the world around me but she was kept away from some children of her age because she was seen as "distinctive". As she was keen to find real friends, this caused Cece's frustration and frustration, but often she had to accept someone's bad handling and made some friends I was afraid to lose. Because it allows she to hear everything she treats these emotions by treating the hearing aid as a superpower
