Being different can be hard.
This funny, spirited story--written by bestselling author of Get a
Financial Life Beth Kobliner Shaw with her son Jacob, and illustrated
by award-winning picture book artist Jules Feiffer--encourages young
readers to embrace the thing that makes them unique...
Jacob is in a hurry--a really big hurry--to get to the store to buy a
special toy. There's only one left, and if he doesn't get to it soon,
he'll never forgive his mom and dad for making him late. Strangers often
stop Jacob's parents on the street to ask about him. See, Jacob is
unusual: He has an eye patch. Jacob knows people like to ask questions,
but do they have to ask right now?
Luckily, Jacob gets to the store in time, and he meets a new friend who
has something different, too. In the end, Jacob's journey makes him more
aware of other people's feelings. Jacob's Eye Patch is the go-to book
for talking about differences that kids can enjoy and parents can turn
to for guidance.
