Reach for this book when your child is transitioning to wearing glasses and feels the weight of keeping track of a new, fragile responsibility. It addresses the common anxiety of losing a new medical accessory, but does so through a lens of playfulness and normalization rather than reprimand. In this story, CJ is so caught up in the joy of playing with family and friends that his new glasses seem to vanish. The narrative explores themes of personal accountability and self-confidence without making the child feel a sense of permanent failure. It is a perfect choice for early readers aged 5 to 7 who are navigating the 'big kid' milestone of self-care and helps parents frame the conversation around problem-solving rather than guilt.
