Reach for this book when your child is facing a new frustration, particularly if they are struggling with a physical limitation or the prospect of wearing glasses for the first time. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like they are failing at a skill everyone else seems to find easy. Through the story of Mole and his best friend Bear, the book explores how physical barriers like poor vision can masquerade as a lack of talent or effort. Set against the backdrop of a sunny summer baseball game, the story follows Mole as he repeatedly fails to hit the ball. His frustration is palpable, but the narrative shifts beautifully when he receives the support he needs: a pair of glasses. This story is perfect for children aged 3 to 6, offering a gentle way to normalize medical aids while modeling how to be a supportive friend when someone else is struggling.
