Show transcript
El Deafo is a graphic novel memoir based on author Cece Bell's childhood. At the age of four, in 1974, Cece is diagnosed as deaf, following a bout of meningitis. The narrative follows her journey using a hearing aid and starting school. Graphic novels have many unique elements which allow readers to make meaning from both words and image. People may use Deaf and deaf terms differently based on their personal preferences and experiences.
