Book
Rosie's glasses / Dave Whamond.
Rosie wakes up one morning with a black cloud over her head. Her cloud stays with her as she plods through her miserable, gray day. Her parents don't have time for her, it's pouring rain and school couldn't be more boring. But everything changes when, while chasing a butterfly, she finds a pair of glasses on the way home from school. She puts them on, and her world transforms into vibrant joyful colour. All of a sudden, she can see the beauty and fun in everything around her. When Rosie accidentally drops her magic glasses into the pond, the colour immediately disappears once again from her world. But Rosie comes to understand that changing her view of the world can change her experience of it, and that happiness doesn't always have to come in vivid technicolour.

In this wordless picture book, Rosie wakes up in a monochrome world, with a dark cloud over her head. As she plods through her miserable, gray day, the cloud follows. Mishaps and mayhem thwart her every move, irritating noises assault her --- and the pouring rain makes everything worse. But then, on her way home from school, Rosie finds a pair of strange glasses. When she puts them on, her world transforms into vivid, joyful color. All of a sudden, she can see the beauty and fun in everything around her --- and her dark cloud has disappeared. Are the glasses magic? Or could it be that changing how we look at the world can change the way we experience it?Award-winning author and illustrator Dave Whamond is known for his energetic, humorous and colorful art. Here he uses three different color palettes to powerfully tell a story of how moods can affect what we see. The wordless format encourages visual literacy and deeper readings of the story based on individual interpretation. It also invites nonreaders to develop vocabulary and narrative skill by âreadingâ the illustrations. This book offers a perfect lead-in to a discussion about good and bad moods. It also works for lessons on self-awareness and personal development, and as an excellent reminder to children (and adults!) that we can all exercise some control over how we see our world. - Grand Central Pub
