A fantastic graphic novel for middle grades that everyone can learn from—especially important for educators. Sweet and funny with heart.

What a wonderful story that is about acceptance, both of yourself and others, and friendship. It really offered great insight into the struggles a deaf person has, and the way others reactions can make them feel even when they have the best intentions. It felt really genuine and was an enjoyable read

Very cute, fast read about a kid who loses their ability to hear, and how their childhood continues with crushes, best friends and the like.
I really liked this was actually based partially on the actual childhood of the author. I did not know that equipments like the Phonic Ear existed, which was pretty cool for me to learn.
Just a very happy read.

This book provides an intimate and elucidating look into the life of someone who is newly deaf at a young age and how they learn to adjust. It raises sensitivities about interacting with deaf people and the struggles they go through that hearing people can't really understand. It's simple enough for children to understand but informative enough for adults to learn from it as well.
I read it for a comics theory class and I really enjoyed it, it answers a lot of questions and broaches several subjects that may cross many people's minds without being shaming. The perspective of a child and the children she interacts with makes for a good way to explain things without being condescending (to any group).
