Drawing of a Cece from El Deafo
El Deafo is a graphic novel that highlights the experiences of a child with hearing loss. When children learn how to draw Cece, they can connect with her story and gain a deeper understanding and compassion for people with disabilities.
The character was created by Cece Bell, who wrote and illustrated the novel. It is a semi-autobiographical account of her experiences growing up with hearing loss and using a hearing aid.
The story has a charming mix of humor, heart and insight and explores themes of friendship and self-acceptance. All of these are wonderful topics to talk about year round, but extra timely for March, which is National Disabilities Awareness Month.
