About this listen
From Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker James Robinson comes a breathtaking memoir for middle-grade listeners (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 listeners in James’s point of view, allowing them to see the world through his disabling eye conditions.
Listeners 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 listeners of all ages with the tools to confront their discomfort with disability and turn confused, blank stares into powerful connections.
An Indies Introduce Pick for Winter/Spring 2025!
