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.

The Remarkable Maria
Told in the first person by Maria, a young girl from Suriname, South America, this picture book tells her story about growing up and facing problems that she did not understand at the time. Orphaned at a young age, Maria helps look after her little sister, Willie. When Maria faces rejection at school because her parents died from AIDS, she feels sad, but she soon comes to realize that she is a remarkable girl.

The children from Suriname were instrumental in the development of the colourful illustrations.
