Readers will get lost as they chase words. They�ll stare into this book while taking a vision test.

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.
