But when Charlie arrives, he doesnt see Jack at all. Hes still getting used to seeing out of only one of his eyes.The two get off to a bumpy start. At first, Jack is anxious and distrustful. But one day, he summons his courage and guides Charlie to his favorite sunlit field: this way, Charlie. And so begins a powerful friendship that will be tested by lifes storms-but will ultimately change each life for the better.This picture book has much to offer for young readers about lifes challenges and how we handle them. Levis excels at crafting emotional, but never saccharine, tales of friendship. Strongly recommend. -School Library Journal (Starred Review)
