Karen, glasses, and a school-picture dilemma

Karen’s new glasses bring a practical change into sharper focus: how she feels about being seen. She chooses pink frames and likes the grown-up look, but teasing at school complicates her decision about wearing them for picture day. The conflict links a familiar school event with questions of self-expression and responding to name-calling. Presented as a graphic novel, the story centers on Karen’s choice between hiding something about herself and facing Ricky’s remarks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in graphic novels about school experiences.
  • Readers interested in stories about glasses, teasing, and self-expression.

Book overview

"Karen has to get glasses! She doesn't want them, especially because school pictures are going to be taken soon. But she picks out some pretty pink ones and thinks she looks very grown-up. Then Yicky Ricky at school starts calling her names, like Owl Girl and Googly Eyes. If Karen wears her glasses for the school picture, Ricky will make fun of her. If she doesn't wear them, she'll feel like she's afraid to be herself. Glasses or no glasses, that Ricky is going to get it!"--
