The Patch

By Justina Chen Headley · Illustrated by Mitch Vane About

“Ballerinas don’t wear glasses,” Becca cried. “And they especially do NOT wear patches!”

At school, all of Becca’s friends want to know what’s up with her patch. Instead of telling the truth, Becca leads her classmates on imaginative adventures to explain her fabulous fashion choice. But when the questions persist, it’s time for Becca to come clean about her problem.

Justina Chen Headley gives readers a resourceful heroine who tackles her amblyopia with wit and spunk. Mitch Vane’s exuberant illustrations are laugh-out-loud funny.
