#DynamicDs Day 11: Cesaria, a Deaf girl, who uses sign language to communicate, is on her way to a #Dance performance. She was upset when her coach asked her to wear sandals for the #Dance and she preferred to be barefoot. When Cesaria was finally on stage, she simply allowed the rhythm to wash over her and did what was true and right for her body. My full review of this gorgeous title: https://wp.me/pDlzr-rb2

This little novel in verse tells a big story. What a love story to communication, caring adults, friends, nature, and poetry.

I wasn't sure whether I liked this book right from the start but there was something about it that kept me reading. It did pick up into a decent thriller apart from the absurdity of Yasmin driving an eighteen wheeler along the ice road in a heavy snow storm. Suspend your disbelief there!

I will read anything Ann Clare LeZotte writes; this one is a modern story. Her Martha's Vineyard trilogy left me feeling so educated as a reader. I'm not obtuse to what it's like for deaf children to be born to hearing parents who don't desire to learn sign language. This book, written in verse gave me Matilda vibes (minus the magic).

“Our differences are our superpowers.“

This book is ideal for talking about empathy and inclusivity. Students can discuss or write about a time they felt different or misunderstood.

This graphic memoir follows Cece, who becomes deaf at a young age and learns to navigate life with a Phonic Ear hearing aid, creating her superhero alter ego, El Deafo.
