Book Reviews of The Patch
Book Review: About a girl who ashamed to wear a patch over her eye
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Patch" is children's author Justina Headley's 32-page picturebook story about Becca, a little girl who must deal with a condition known as Amblyopia or 'lazy eye', and whose eye doctor prescribes new glasses and the wearing of an eye patch over her good eye to help her lazy eye grow stronger. The problem for Becca is that wearing an eye patch might make her friends think less of her. So she makes up wild stories about why she's wearing an eye patch. Is she a pirate, or a private detective, or a monster? Justina's wonderfully charming story is expertly enhanced with the matching illustrations of Mitch Vane who is able to expressively capture Becca's exuberance and light heartedness during her seeming adversity. A highly entertaining and recommended addition to both school and community library collections, "The Patch" is particularly recommended reading for any child ages 5 to 8 that must deal with a 'lazy eye' treatment themselves.
