Helpful when

Your child has strabismus, is curious about visible differences, or is learning to understand and include children whose experiences may look different from their own.

About this resource

A heartwarming picture book that introduces children to esotropia (a type of strabismus or squint) through the story of Tshwarelo, a child who learns that differences can be something to understand, celebrate and embrace.

Written to encourage empathy and representation, this story helps children understand that everyone experiences the world differently. It creates a gentle starting point for conversations about eye conditions, confidence, inclusion and kindness, whether a child has strabismus themselves or knows someone who does.
