This is one of the funniest graphic novels ever! It's such a great story and doesn't take itself to seriously. Every kid needs to read this! ( )

This book is perfect for 4th grade and up students. This book also is perfect for anyone who suffers from hearing loss. It is a very inspirational book and it teaches kids that having a disability is not a bad thing but instead it is their own superpower. This book shows a lot of character growth. I would have this in my future classroom

This graphic novel follows a girl who was born hearing but became deaf at the age of four. It walks readers through her life at home, school, and interacting with children in the neighborhood. This graphic novel would be a great book for fourth or fifth-graders to read as they learn about perspectives. This book does a fantastic job at showing readers her frustrations of other's assumptions and how she hears the world. It could pair well with a lesson on perspectives and incorporating descriptive language for readers to be placed in the character's shoes.

This graphic novel is written by and about a deaf girl. It follows the story of a young girl who has lost her hearing due to illness. Because this story is told through a graphic novel it gives the story colorful themes and some humor. I think that graphic novels are important to have as options for reading in the classroom and I think that this one is an amazing option. This is a great book for intermediate students and I think will be a huge asset in the classroom.

This book is about a girl who finds out she's deaf when she's young. It's for kids in 3rd to 5th grade and shows her journey of making friends and dealing with challenges.
