Carla loves to be different. So when her teacher announces an upcoming vision screening, Carla hopes she'll be the only kid in class to need glasses. To prepare for her new look, she starts wearing homemade funky frames to school each day.

Turns out that the only one who needs glasses is Buster. But unlike Carla, Buster does NOT like to be different. He likes to blend in. When Carla concocts an ingenious plan to help Buster, it's clear to see that the power of friendship and Carla's creativity will save the day.

This long-awaited companion to the award-winning Carla's Sandwich will be adored by kids with or without glasses.

Industry Reviews

Awards and praise for Carla's Glasses: Storytelling World Award 2005 Honor Book An Accelerated Reader title

"This uplifting, reassuring story is about warm friendship and about being seen--literally--and accepted for who you are. Carla's a supportive, creative pal, and this story should boost the esteem of kids nervous about getting their first pair of glasses."-- Kirkus Reviews

"An ending that will delight readers young and old." -- Children's Literature

"This book will be to the brown bag lunch what Dr. Seuss was to ham and eggs. --Sheila Bailey's irrepressible illustrations are completely engaging and the perfect complement to the text. This book is a gem." --MyShelf

"...this warm and entertaining picture book is about the difference between being a person who wants to stand out, and one who hopes to blend in... Debbie Herman is sensitive to the way children feel, but doesn't overwhelm them with overbearing empathy." -- Emily Schneider, blogger on Imaginary Elevators

"Bailey's watercolor and digital illustrations are colorful and expressive, and include lots of details for children to pore over.... could be especially useful for parents helping their child navigate wearing glasses for the first time." -- Kadie Seitz, writer for the School Library Journal
