Publisher Comments

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 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! Barclay successfully depicts a very real and relevant issue with lightheartedness and gentle humor. Young readers will relate to Paigeand#8217;s journey and celebrate her triumph of seeing clearly in the end.
