Jacob's Eye Patch

Being different is hard. This heartwarming story by the bestselling author of Get a Financial Life helps young readers embrace that one thing that makes them unique.

Jacob is in a hurry—there’s only one very special globe left at the store! And if he doesn’t get to it soon, he’ll never forgive his mom and dad for making him late. Strangers often stop his parents on the street to ask about their son. See, Jacob is unusual: he has an eye patch. Luckily, they make it to the store in time, and Jacob soon finds both the globe he wants and the courage to confront his difference. Along the way, he makes a friend at the store with a difference herself: braces!

Beautifully illustrated by award-winning picture book artist Jules Feiffer, Jacob’s Eye Patch offers just the right kind of encouragement for children who feel just a little bit different.
