Description
Book SynopsisWhen her teacher announces an upcoming in-school Vision Screening, Carla hopes she WILL need glasses and Buster hopes he WON'T. In eager anticipation, Carla - who loves to be unique - wears a different pair of handmade frames each day, crafted from tin foil, pipe cleaners, cardboard, and glitter. To both Carla's and Buster's dismay, the screening reveals that the only one who needs glasses is Buster. Carla hopes to cheer up her friend, accompanying him to the eye doctor to help him choose frames. They find a pair that suits him well, but Buster is still looking down. They have a meaningful chat in the car where Carla learns that, unlike her, Buster does NOT like to be different; he likes to fit in. But now he'll be the only one in class with glasses. When Carla cooks up a plan, it's clear to see that the power of friendship - and Carla's creativity - save the day. Carla's Glasses is a companion to the award-winning Carla's Sandwich.
