Reach for this book when you suspect your child is struggling with a physical challenge they cannot yet articulate, or if they have recently been diagnosed with a vision issue like amblyopia. It is a comforting resource for children who feel confused by why their bodies work differently than their peers, providing a gentle bridge to medical interventions like wearing an eye patch. The story follows Ginny, a kindergartner who sees the world in double. She thinks everyone sees two of everything until a school vision screening reveals her unique perspective. With the help of a kind doctor and a cool pirate eye patch, Ginny learns to see clearly. This book is a wonderful choice for ages 4 to 7 because it validates a child's internal experience while framing medical treatment as an exciting adventure rather than a scary chore.
