An accessible and immersive account of growing up with strabismus, a condition of eye misalignment...Robinson presents a sincere reflection on childhood experiences of growing up in a world not built with him in mind."Publishers Weekly, starred review
From Emmy Awardwinning documentary filmmaker James Robinson comes a breathtaking illustrated memoir for middle-grade readers (and adults, too)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 Jamess point of view, allowing them to see the world through his disabling eye conditions.
Readers will get lost as they chase words. Theyll stare into this book while taking a vision test. Theyll hold it upside down as they practice pretend-reading…and theyll follow an unlikely trail toward discovering the power of words.
With poignant illustrations by Eisner Awardnominated artist Brian Rea, Jamess story equips readers of all ages with the tools to confront their discomfort with disability and turn confused, blank stares into powerful connections.
