Adorable and touching... July 23, 2008

Hands down a must have for ANY child. My five year old daughter may not be dealing with a "travelin' eye", but this book has proven to be a creative, colorful, compassionate way to teach her about the differences that we all have. She has also come to appreciate how Jenny, and other kiddos she might know, might be feeling about their differences. Jenny did a phenomenal job of capturing childrens' attention with her illustrations and bright colors, but what makes this book truly stand out from the rest is her the way she approaches what could have been an awkward subject with pure honesty and humor. Thanks for sharing your gifts!
Wonderful book! June 14, 2008
I love everything about this book- both the illustrations and story are wonderful. My granddaughter who is only 9 months old, loves to look at the pictures. It's a great book to add to your library.

This is the story of a young girl who has a medical condition commonly known as "lazy eye". This is the story of how she is able to work with the doctors and over come her travelin' eye.
What did you like or not like about the book?
The little girl in the story was very cute and her parents showed unconditional love and understanding to the young girl.
Kids who may have the "lazy eye" can relate to the girl in the story and may learn an important lesson
Travelin' Eye is a winner! April 4, 2008

My Travelin' Eye is delightful. It's such a creative approach to the topic of strabismus. It isn't easy to find stories to explain eye problems to children. This is perfect. The illustrations are such fun -- especially the 'fashion-patches' and ophthalmologist's office.
What a helpful, creative book! April 2, 2008

This cheerful picture book by new author Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw is dear to my heart as my son also has a wandering or travelin' eye. I wish I'd had this book when he had to wear a patch and glasses to school for the first time. Jenny Sue, in a loving manner, portrays, through her text and illustrations, what it is like for a child with a travelin' eye.
In this semi-autobiography of herself as a little girl Jenny Sue describes how she saw the world with each eye and the gift each eye gave to her, one an artist and the other a navigator. However, when she had to wear a patch and glasses, how did she cope with suddenly seeing in a different way and with the pointing of the other children? Young readers will be entranced to find out.
The mixed media illustrations are delightful and inspire children to turn the pages just to see what they can find in each picture: counting opportunities, finding objects, and trying Jenny Sue's art activities. Teachers and parents will also find this an inspiring book for their children with wandering eyes, or for a unit on understanding disabilities. This picture book is highly recommended for young children, ages 3-8.
