When my son had to get glasses at four years old, it was a battle.

I Can See Just Fine: A Picture Book
Author/illustrator Eric Barclay’s picture book I Can See Just Fine is “a gentle way to introduce the topic of eyeglasses with a resistant child and what to expect in finding a solution” (Shelf Awareness for Readers). Paige is just like every other kid. She goes to school. She practices her violin. She plays outside. The only problem is, she cannot quite see the chalkboard, her sheet music, or anything else! Despite Paige’s repeated refrain of “I can see just fine,” the comical illustrations portray a different story. Paige’s parents decide it’s time for her to visit the eye doctor, despite her protests. But Paige’s stubbornness quickly dissolves as she braves an enthralling eye checkup, enjoys a playful frame selection, and, most importantly, ends up with perfect eyesight! Author/illustrator Eric Barclay successfully depicts a very real and relevant issue with lightheartedness and gentle humor. Young readers will relate to Paige’s journey and celebrate her triumph of seeing clearly in the end. “With an attractive, clean layout and big speech bubbles, this story is one that young readers will easily follow as Paige ultimately triumphs with her new glasses.” —School Library Journal
