The Pirate of Kindergarten

This is the story of Ginny. Ginny is in kindergarten and loves to read. The only problem is that Ginny sees two of everything. When she bumps into chairs, the kids laugh at her and when she reads things twice her teacher tells her to only read it once or stop squinting. Math is really hard and so is simple things like cutting for Ginny, but on Vision Screening Day the mystery is solved. Ginny has double vision. After going to the eye doctor, she is relieved to find out her eyes aren’t playing tricks on her and she doesn’t need surgery. Eye exercises, glasses and a patch will fix her vision problem. This is when she becomes a kindergarten pirate that can do numbers, scissors, read and not bump into things. This is a nice story about being different and having a disability. This would be a great resource for those little ones that do have trouble with their vision. This is a cute story  that teaches kids it is ok to have difficulties and disabilities. I like how it puts a positive spin on wearing eye patches for the many kids that have to.
