The Eyes and the Impossible is a 2023 all-ages book written by Dave Eggers with illustrations by Shawn Harris.

It tells the story of Johannes, a dog appointed by three elderly bison to be the "eyes" of the park in which they live.

[4] Michelle Shaw, for the School Library Journal, said the book's "unique story will enchant readers and encourage them to focus on what is most important in life.

"[5] Kirkus Reviews commented on how the narration is a "mix of poetic language, sophisticated vocabulary, philosophy, humor, hyperbole, and both short declarative and run-on sentences," and praised Shawn Harris' art found throughout the book.

[2] Publishers Weekly calls Johannes a "fully fleshed protagonist" due to the multiple perspectives he offers during the narration of the story.
