Great book for kids detailing the process of having an artificial eye made. Special emphasis on making children comfortable and understanding the whole process. Often, because of emotional stress at the time of diagnosis or surgery, parents are not prepared to handle their child's questions. Family members and friends also need to be educated about the surgery and/or prosthesis. This book provides a clear, non-threatening explanation to help parents handle such inquiries. The presentation of a three-year-old's experience with enucleation and the subsequent fitting of a prosthesis is reassuring to both the child and the family. Brian and Zack, the two children portrayed in the book who have each had an eye enucleated, are delightful, charming youngsters. As we go on their journey from diagnosis to cosmetic success, it is easy for other children to identify with them and to be comforted by their experiences. ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH
