I read this purely for the TO Library Reading Challenge, in the category "From our First & Best List". I'm not exactly the target audience for this book, but it is a charming story about Rosie who learns to see the good things in life through the help of some rose-tinted glasses. This book has no words, but is beautifully illustrated with a lot of detail to look at in every picture and a nice message.
Okay, there's something to be said about a wordless book that still gives you "all the feels". Although I originally thought the book was about a color blind child and her first day trying on EnChroma glasses to help her see colors for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book was instead about Rosie, a young girl who is constantly overcome with anger and sadness... until she finds a pair of glasses that help her see the beauty in everyday things. This was such a stunning book, and I feel like it could help teach a wonderful lesson to children about looking on the bright side of things. I loved it! What more can I say?
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

Rosie is bored until she finds a pair of glasses. Suddenly the world is vibrant.
A beautifully illustrated story of learning to see the world through different...eyes.

My galley of this book is wordless, and I hope the final copy stays that way. Rosie sees the world in black and white. It’s all dreary and hopeless, until she stumbles across a special pair of glasses that turn her world in to bright colors. A well done story that needs no words to convey its meaning.
This book was so lovely. It was bright, and happy and optimistic (as I'm sure most of you guessed from the title).
I loved the view through Rosie's Glasses. It reminded me of being a child, and how on a good day everything seemed so bright and magical.
