Book Cover & Preview Text
One hundred needles on my head. Prickling me as they move around my hair. Ouch, is that an echidna on my head? Do you have to brush my hair? Something is tightening around my neck. Like a boa constrictor, it's getting tighter. I'm choking! My face is going red. Get it off me. My shirt collar is too close to my neck. My neck tie is making it feel tighter.

About the Book
Through My Eyes takes the reader on a journey through one boy’s life, from when he is a baby to when he starts school. The words represent what the boy is thinking, but he is not able to articulate the emotions he is feeling to his mother or his teacher. As the boy grows, he continues to find himself in new situations that are overwhelmingly uncomfortable, painful, loud, and upsetting. Each day becomes increasingly more challenging. Will the boy be able to cope in this big and scary world?
