Despite Paigeand#8217;s repeated refrain of and#147;I can see just fine,and#8221; the comical illustrations portray a different story. Paigeand#8217;s parents decide itand#8217;s time for her to visit the eye doctor, despite her protests. But Paigeand#8217;s stubbornness quickly dissolves as she braves an enthralling eye checkup, enjoys a playful frame selection, and, most importantly, ends up with perfect eyesight!

Young readers will relate to Paigeand#8217;s journey and celebrate her triumph of seeing clearly in the end.
