Wobbly Eyes - a child's view of nystagmus
This leaflet is to help explain nystagmus to children who have got it. We have tried to answer some of the questions you may want to ask. You might be the only person in your family with nystagmus, so they will need to learn about it with you.

Tales of Northwick (available as a book and audio CD).
"Tales of Northwick" shows what it's like to have nystagmus through the eyes of a little boy, Frank, and his teddy bear, Northwick. Each of the nine children's stories was written especially for the Nystagmus Network by John Sanders, who has nystagmus himself. Many of the stories have appeared in the NN newsletter, but are illustrated here for the first time by Brian George. Comments on the book include:

"As a child I would have loved to have stories of a bear with wobbly eyes like mine, as I knew of no-one else like me!"

"My daughter loves hearing about Northwick's exploits and eagerly awaits each instalment."

"Tales of Northwick" is 43 pages long, in A4 format and printed in 14 point (this size).
