My Travelin’ Eye By Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw
A lazy eye can have its advantages—just ask Jenny Sue!
Jenny Sue’s eyes are different from 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. Some famous artists, including Da Vinci and Rembrandt, had a “lazy” eye, enabling them to see the world through a slightly different lens. My Travelin’ Eye is a refreshing take on “feeling different.” It shows how a disability can be turned into an advantage, with a bit of creativity. This book can be used in the classroom as an introduction to the creative process—where ideas come from, and how to make something of your ideas. For children who wear glasses, it’s also a reassuring story of one little girl’s experience, including a visit to the ophthalmologist. Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw is a freelance illustrator who studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and The Illustration Academy. She also spent many years working for Hallmark. Her art is kid-friendly and whimsical, and she has a winning child’s point of view in her story-telling style. Jenny lives in the mountains of Northern New Mexico with her husband, Patrick, and their dog, Oso. This is her first picture book.
