This is a must watch for parents with kids. The story is neat, as the series shows Cece and her herosona, El Deafo, as she grows up in school, dealing with issues and challenges a deaf person back in the era this is set in, and the voice actors all do a good job, as the series keeps with the subject and stays within the source material it is adapting for the most part. El Deafo: Superpowered Edition ISBN: 9781419748318 Written and illustrated by Cece Bell 19. Also, the show manages to portray how life is like for a deaf person, as when Cece goes deaf, we don't hear any dialogue or sounds other than the real Cece's narration and some muffled speech (which puts the viewers in Cece's shoes), and once the hearing aids are worn, the speech is filtered to sound like it's heard from the hearing aid.

Basically, if you read the book, the mini-series stays close to it (with the only changes being to replace songs and fictional characters that are copyrighted by another company, like having Cece get sick when she sings the theme song for Mightyvolt, a hero made up for the show, instead of Yellow Submarine, which is sung by The Beatles, and some scenes of nudity in the book were not in the show, possibly to ensure a lower content rating). After suffering an illness that causes her to go death, Cece is given hearing aids, and develops a herosona, El Deafo to get through life. Set in Cece's childhood, Cece tells the story of how she became deaf, with the characters all portrayed as rabbits. This book is a beautiful exploration of the social, emotional, and physical challenges she faces as she seeks to find her place in the world and establish her own identity. It is the semi-autobiographical story of Cece who goes deaf after a serious illness. My students range from ages 4 - 21, all have a hearing loss, and are mainstreamed in school. El Deafo is a fabulous graphic novel for grades 3+. El Deafo is a mini-series based on the comic by Cece Bell, which is based on her childhood experience. Help me give my students who have hearing loss their own personal copy of 'El Deafo,' a memoir about growing up with hearing loss, as well as report covers for their self advocacy projects.
