On Friday April 7, 2017 DBE is excited to announce that we’ll be hosting Book-It Repertory Theatre’s production of El Deafo by Cece Bell.
This graphic novel memoir is a favorite of DBE readers and was a Global Reading Challenge Book in 2016. Currently all 15 of our library copies are checked out! El Deafo tells the story of Cece’s first year of school in a “regular” school, as a deaf student. The story is heartwarming, humorous and inspirational.
This week students K-5 are thinking about Cece Bell and what makes each of us unique. “And being different? That turned out to the best part of all. I found that with a little creativity, and a lot of dedication, any difference can be turned into something amazing. Our differences are our superpowers.” -Cece Bell
A HUGE thank you to our DBE PTA for helping to bring this production to our students!
