When Sam gets his first pair of glasses, he feels like no one knows who he is anymore.

His parents say he looks handsome in them and his grandpa thinks he must be a superhero, but Sam just wants to be himself. Even at school, everyone except his best friend George seems to have forgotten who he is. How will Sam make the world see him again?

Follow Sam as he tries to remind people who he is, abandons his glasses at every chance he gets, and even faces giant penguins and googly-eyed turtles in his journey back to his old self. Young readers will delight in the vibrant illustrations and Sam’s imaginative antics, from building pirate ships with George to fending off sharks as captain on the high seas. And the more he returns to his adventurous ways, and rediscovers his confidence and sense of humour, the more people see him not as some anonymous handsome superhero, but as Sam.

Now available in paperback, The Boy in the Big Blue Glasses is an action-packed story about overcoming your fears of other people’s perceptions and not shying away from being yourself. Any children dealing with new glasses or other changes in their appearance will find inspiration in Sam’s bravery. After all, how big or blue your glasses are doesn’t make any difference when you’re captain of a pirate ship!

Industry Reviews

"Picture books always help with big life changes, and this story by Susanne Gervay @susanne_gervay has been super handy for our family. The Boy in the Big Blue Glasses, tells the story of Sammy, who feels like he loses his identity when he gets his new glasses. The grown-ups tell him he looks like a superhero, but he just wants to be himself. I hope every child gets to read this book, and understand that vision problems affect so many."
