About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a rut of 'boring' days or needs a gentle nudge to look past their own mood. It is a perfect choice for children who struggle with mild pessimism or for those who share a special bond with an elderly relative. The story follows Mr. Posey, a man feeling grey and dull, who visits a thrift shop with his young neighbor, Andy, to find a new perspective through a series of magical, whimsical eyeglasses. While the story is lighthearted and humorous, it functions as a masterclass in mindfulness and cognitive reframing for the 4 to 8 age range. It explores how our internal state colors our external world, literally and figuratively. Parents will appreciate how it validates feelings of gloominess without being preachy, ultimately showing that a simple change in focus, aided by the company of a friend, can restore a sense of wonder to the everyday.
