My First Glasses

Help your child overcome fears, build confidence, and discover the joy of seeing the world clearly!

Is your child squinting at the television, struggling to read the board at school, or feeling nervous about getting glasses for the first time?

In My First Glasses, author Jason Himes shares a warm and encouraging story about a young boy who begins noticing that things far away are becoming blurry. Reading the classroom board feels harder, and even everyday activities start to frustrate him. When his mom notices him squinting and rubbing his eyes, she schedules a visit to the eye doctor.

At first, the boy feels nervous about eye exams, wearing glasses, and looking different from his classmates. But after visiting a friendly eye clinic and choosing a cool pair of blue frames, everything changes. Suddenly the world looks brighter, sharper, and clearer than ever before. Best of all, his classmates think his new glasses look awesome!

Perfect for children ages 3–8, My First Glasses helps kids feel safe, confident, and excited about wearing glasses and visiting the eye doctor for the very first time.
