My purpose for writing Eyeglasses are a Home Run is to help children feel good about wearing glasses. By telling a story, the experience of going to an optometrist is easier to understand and lets children know both what to expect and how vision correction can impact their life in a positive way. Because vision is related to learning, all children should have a yearly eye exam. Eyeglasses are a Home Run is filled with humor, creativity, and a surprising outcome. Mathew, a boy who loves to play baseball, can’t seem to do anything right and thinks he’s stupid. Matt wants to fi t in and be accepted by his class and teammates. When he realizes he might need glasses, he’s not happy. But he knows something is just not right and is clever enough to contribute a solution to his own problem.
