My Travelin' Eye
Jenny Sue is not happy when her teacher suggests that she see an ophthalmologist to treat her strabismus because Jenny Sue likes the way that her travelling eye allows her to see the world in a unique way. The ophthalmologist prescribes a patch over Jenny Sue's lazy eye and this causes much difficulty for Jenny Sue because not only does she have difficulty seeing, but her classmates tease her. With some creativity, however, the protagonist and her mother turn the situation into a positive one. Vivid illustrations add appeal to this picture book.

Brain Gains: Better Grades Through Fitness
The National visits an inner city high school in Saskatoon, SK, where teacher Allison Cameron tests the theory that vigorous daily exercise improves academic performance. City Park Collegiate is considered a high school of last resort for kids who haven't been able to make it anywhere else. The Grade 8 and 9 students contend with a wide range of behavioural problems: almost half are diagnosed with ADHD and many work at a Grade 4 level. When Allison came across groundbreaking research by Harvard psychiatrist John Ratey (author of Spark), showing a link between sustained aerobic activity and the brain's ability to learn, she took the data to her principal to make the case for a new approach. For Allison and her students, the program was a runaway success and test results prove it.
