Check out the read-along, "My New Glasses" By Anthony Cephas. My New Glasses wants to show you all the big feelings that 4-year old Jupiter experiences in this funny and heartwarming book. Whether he’s worried, nervous, happy, or anxious, both parents and children alike will relate to this beloved story. A perfect way to teach children about difference and the fear of the unknown.
