I'm sorry that you were bullied by other kids for wearing glasses as a child. Sadly, children can be cruel to others who look different in any way. Nowadays, I think it has become more common for kids to wear glasses and there is a wider variety of fashionable glasses to pick from. Hopefully, both of these things have made kids feel more confident wearing glasses if they need them.kislany wrote: ↑05 Mar 2018, 11:14 The first paragraph of your review is the story of my childhood. I started wearing glasses from the of 3. I grew up going to school feeling very insecure because of them. And trust me, kids can be quite cruel to people with glasses or any other non-standard "features." Not sure I'll want to read this book, as probably will give me a case of PTSD

Thanks for the kind words. It's so true how glasses are a fashion trend now vs. years ago. It's always nice when a book can bolster a child's self-esteem, in addition to being entertaining.cpru68 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 11:21 It is so nice to see an author take the time to write a story that teaches little ones about something that might be a mystery to them. From a child’s perspective, glasses probably seem odd, so to have a book take out some of that unknown is of great value. Glasses can then be seen as a tool for enhancing life versus an ugly piece of hardware. In my day, there was much stigma over glasses and braces, but I see times have changed a little bit. Glasses are now a fashion statement to some. This books sounds like a delight, and I enjoyed reading your review.

When I was age 15 I needed glasses eye doctor's and glasses wasn't available to me back then. But now I do wear glasses and they help me to see better, so all children who needs glasses should wear them. Because it's available and helpful for your eyes. No one wants to see a blind princess so why take risks. If I knew a child princess I would tell them to have custom made with diamonds and pearls and gold then she would be a real and beautifull princess. Love the book author and story very interesting. I would also let my grandkids read this book.

I do wonder how relevant this really is though. I do remember getting braces and it was almost cool to have them because you could pick from all sorts of colors and everyone in high school had them anyway.
I even know a bunch of people who make wearing glasses a fashion statement. Maybe the author takes this tactic. Glasses and braces are just another way to accessorize ladies
