Product Description
Jenny Sue’s eyes are not the same as other people’s eyes. Her right eye looks in one direction, while her left eye sometimes wanders. Jenny Sue has a travelin’, lazy eye. Although it makes her different, it also helps her see the world in a special way.
Here is a charming story about one very inspiring little girl who overcomes her disability and offers inspiration to others.

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.
great story May 23, 2008
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
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
