Carla's Glasses

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.

Sheila Bailey is the illustrator of Carla's Sandwich and many other children's books. In addition, she is a volunteer firefighter. Although she owns 19 pairs of reading glasses that are strewn all over her home, once she forgot to bring glasses on a fire call and had to write up the incident report in huge letters because she couldn't see her regular sized writing. She lives with her husband and daughter on Sauvie Island near beautiful Portland, Oregon. Debbie Herman is the author of Carla’ s Glasses and Carla's Sandwich. She's a full-time writer and editor, and a former elementary school teacher with an M.A. in Special Education. Debbie resides in Chicago, Illinois. Like Carla, she's a fan of funky glasses.
