Amelia and the Magic Glasses: Pirates in the Sky - Paperback

by Svieta Surmenko (Illustrator), Giampiero Ambrosi (Author)

A classic story beautifully told and illustrated for any child who needs to wear glasses. This book started as a bed time story that the author told his daughter when he learned that she would need to wear glasses. Through stories of pirates, undersea creatures, and mischievous monkeys, Amelia came to see her glasses not as a tiresome annoyance, but as a special treasure with magical powers. After that, she never refused to wear her glasses again. All profits from this book are donated to New Eyes for the Needy, an 85 year old organization that purchases new prescription eyeglasses through a voucher program for adults in the United States who cannot afford their own. New Eyes also accepts, recycles, and distributes, donated glasses for poor people overseas.
