| book description |

★ 5 STARRED REVIEWS ★ ★ “Lively, interactive...truly eye-opening."" —Booklist ★ “A sincere reflection on childhood...growing up in a world not built with him in mind."" —Publishers Weekly ★ “A superb middle grade memoir that champions empathy and understanding on every level.” —BookPage ★ “Game-changing curriculum add for any teacher” —The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books ★ “A moving memoir…this is an important book for all readers.” —School Library Journal From Emmy Award–winning documentary filmmaker James Robinson comes a breathtaking illustrated memoir for readers ages 10 and up—inspired by the viral, Emmy-nominated short film Whale Eyes. Told through an experimental mix of intimate anecdotes and interactive visuals, this book immerses readers in James’s experiences growing up with strabismus, allowing them to see the world through one eye at a time. Readers will get lost as they chase words. They’ll stare into this book while taking a vision test. They’ll hold it upside down as they practice “pretend-reading”…and they’ll follow an unlikely trail toward discovering the power of words. With poignant illustrations by Eisner Award–nominated artist Brian Rea, James’s story equips readers of all ages with the tools to confront their discomfort with disability and turn confused, blank stares into powerful connections.
