My Travelin’ Eye

By Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw (Henry Holt and Comany, LLC – 2008)

Based on the author’s experience as a seven-years-old girl. Jenny Sue’s eyes are different from other people’s eyes. Her right eye looks in one direction, while her left eye sometimes wanders. She loves that her “travelin’ eye” lets her see the world in a special way. But her teacher suggests her parents to take her to an ophthalmologist to fix the lazy eye.
