AlbakiReads Editorial

A picture-book celebration of glasses and self-acceptance

Specs centers on one girl’s journey toward accepting glasses, pairing that theme with the playful act of choosing a pair that feels like her own. The book presents glasses not only as something that changes how she sees, but as part of personal expression. Its focus on clothing and appearance gives the story a clear connection to everyday choices, while the picture-book format keeps that idea accessible to young children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children exploring glasses or other changes in appearance
  • Families and educators looking for a picture book about self-acceptance
  • Children who enjoy stories about personal style and choosing what feels right for them

Book overview

Fun, lyrical, and electric, Specs is the follow-up picture book to the beloved Kicks, from award-winning poet Van G. Garrett and New York Times bestselling illustrator Reggie Brown.

This is a love letter to glasses. But not just any glasses. Only the shiniest, flyest, you-est specs you can find--the ones that let you see things in a whole new way!

In this playful and joyful ode to specs of all kinds, young readers follow one girl on her journey of acceptance and join the fun of picking the perfect pair of glasses.
