Whale Eyes- A Memoir About Seeing and Being Seen

Description

這是一段關於患有斜視（一種眼睛不對齊的病症）的成長經歷的易懂且引人入勝的描述…… 羅賓遜（Robinson）對在一個並未為他這樣的人而設計的世界中長大的童年經歷進行了真摯的反思。
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 Award–winning 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 James’s point of view, allowing them to see the world through his disabling eye conditions. 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.
