Whale eyes

a memoir about seeing and being seen
by James Robinson ; illustrated by Brian Rea
Book - 2025

"When Emmy Award-winning filmmaker James Robinson was in first grade, he decided to give up on reading. Growing up with severely misaligned eyes, James stared at books the same way his classmates stared at him. Confused, repulsed, and a bit disgusted. In this humorous and heartfelt memoir, James returns to the format that he used to dread, reimagining what a book can be. Readers will wrestle with words on the page, fail eye exams, practice reading upside down, and experience how James ultimately broke through to those who stare at him -- with a short film that was picked up by the New York Times and went viral upon its release. By spotlighting the unsaid and the unseen, Whale Eyes equips readers of all ages with the tools to confront their discomfort with disability and turn confused, blank stares into powerful connections. Featuring breezy yet tender prose, an interactive design, and poignant illustrations by world-renowned artist Brian Rea, Whale Eyes isn't just a captivating story, it's an invitation -- to a more kind, thoughtful, and caring version of ourselves" --
