Rosie's Glasses by Dave Whamond

4.0

---

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.
