No words, and yet you quickly get that this is not a good day, as Rosie wakes up with a cloud over her head and it all goes downhill from there.
But, then, she finds some rose colored glasses, and her view of the world changes. What was one gray,
is now bright and colorful. Birds sing, people smile, there are musicians.
But the good news is the world does not revert back, when she loses the glasses. It is still bright and sunny, when her dog and family join her in the park.
Kids should have fun looking at before an after pictures of her black and white world and her rosie world.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book is a true picture book, using only the illustrations to tell the story. It starts with Rosie walking around in her day and life with a gray cloud above her head, seeing everything in black and white. Until one day she sees a colorful butterfly and finds these colorful glasses, when she puts them she sees a whole new colorful world. This is a great book with very detailed and beautiful illustrations.
This is an entirely wordless children’s picture book. Rosie is having a bad day, and nothing seems to be going her way. Then she puts on her rose coloured glasses, and suddenly the entire world is fun, vibrant, and exciting. One day she drops her glasses. Fearful that her world will go grey again, she realizes this isn’t the case when a dog greets her and brings back the vibrancy to her life!
This was a cute book about a girl having a tough time appreciating her day until she literally gets to see the world around her with rose-colored glasses.
I love the idea of exploring depression in children with this magical realist idea that, once Rosie puts on her glasses ('rose-colored glasses' is the clear pun here) she is able to see the beauty in her everyday life and be pulled out of the (black-and-white illustrated) gloom into technicolor. I am, however, conflicted by the ending in which Rosie loses her glasses, but is still able to retain her positive outlook. The realities of depression are not as cut and dry and I'm uncomfortable with the idea that, if the glasses represent some sort of therapeutic treatment, the message ends up being that such interventions are ultimately unnecessary over the long term.

Rosie's having a rough day. She wakes up late for school, can't find any clean clothes to wear, is splashed with dirty water from a passing car, and gets stuck in the rain without an umbrella, all before she gets to class. The day only gets worse from there. Then, as she's walking home from school with her dad, she notices a pair of pink glasses on a bridge at the park. As soon as she slips them on her gray day becomes spectacularly bright. She notices animals frolicking in the grass, neighbors being kind, a family enjoying ice cream cones, and more. The next day she wears her new glasses to school and has a marvelous day. Rosie panics when she loses the spectacles, but realizes she doesn't really need them to see the world in a positive way. This wordless picture book will spark good conversations with students about how much we control our outlook on life.
Rosie has a tough morning, like many kids do. This wordless book is a great way for educators or people who work with children to see what comes to them each morning. Rosie ends up finding these glasses that literally change her entire perspective of the world around her, which changes to bright colors and joy. Her whole life has changed! But when she loses these glasses, will she still be able to find joy in her life? SPOILER: Yes. And bonus- another little kid having a tough day finds these glasses later, implying his perspective is soon to change.
LOVE this book for class discussions, writing prompts, and small group chats. Also great for professional development on interacting with children.

This was a really interesting book. This would be better for one on one reading because there are no words, but the concept was great. Rosie wakes up to a bad day but she borrows glasses that let her see the world in color and the beauty of everyday things. It's a story about the way we see the world, both in a positive and negative light and how when have the ability to control that.

A nice wordless book, there is no word here, only illustrations, but it still bring a good and easy enough to understand message. A story about the way we see the world (possitive/negative) and how it's more or less just in our mind. The illustration are beautiful and the message is good and important. It's a good book !
