Princess Liana Goes to Australia!

Princess Liana made her debut in Australia with a wonderful article in Insight, Australia’s leading ophthalmic newspaper.  You can view it  or go to Insight’s website and read the article in the free online March edition, page 60.  I am so excited that helping girls feel confident in getting glasses is super important to our parents and eye-care professionals in Australia.   

We know that wearing glasses can be fashionable and fun, but we also know that the process of getting glasses can feel mysterious. Many girls have some concerns about their self-image and how their peers will react. Princess Liana, in The Princess Who Wore Glasses, becomes excited about her journey to get help to see her kingdom.  And I love how, with designer magic glasses, her eyes are truly opened to a whole new world of things and places she has never seen before.  Her friends seem as excited for her as she is!

Thanks Insight for introducing Princess Liana and The Princess Who Wore Glasses to little girls in Australia!

The Gift of Glasses!

During this season of Thanksgiving, I am reminded of how much glasses are a gift.  Princess Liana was given the gift of magic glasses from the court magician that enabled her to see a whole new world of beauty, and enjoy a richer relationship with her friends!  Wow!  Just yesterday, as I was watching my five year old daughter in her dance class, I talked to another mom whose princess in the class was wearing her fun purple and pink glasses as she leaped and skipped around the studio.This little girl was very farsighted, and required glasses really from her first few months of life. Just learning to walk had been tricky for her, and small objects needed to be moved out of the way so she could feel comfortable walking freely.  She would be easily startled if someone came near her quickly.  At 18 months of age she began to wear glasses. She also started eye training sessions to help her strengthen her eyes and to adapt to ongoing vision changes.  How wonderful now to be a dancing princess who wears glasses!! 

Do you have a thankful or encouraging comment about your daughter getting glasses  

that you would like to share with our readers?  We would love to hear from you!

On another thankful note, The Princess Who Wore Glasses is being blessed by being included in the WRAL’s 2012 Go Ask Mom, Made by Mom’s Gift Guide hosted by Sarah Hall. 

Sarah Hall From WRAL features The Princess Who Wore Glasses

This summer I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to Sarah Hall, the reporter and writer of goaskmoms.com who has a column on WRAL.com. The article “Cary mom pens book for girls who need glasses” highlights why I wrote the story for little girls. We had an informative discussion on the issues little girls faces as they’re going through the transition of wearing eyeglasses. I explained to Sarah the importance of the role of parents in making this be both a successful and magical experience. I hope that this interview will give viewers a nice introduction to The Princess Who Wore Glasses and encourage them to dive into the book and adore a real princess who wears glasses.

The video interview is on WRAL, go check it out!

"It really is magical to see what you have not seen before!"

Fun at the Mommy Time Facebook Party!

Wow! What a wonderful time I had Tuesday evening sponsoring and commenting at the Facebook Party hosted by Penny who is the author of the Meet Penny mom’s blog.

We enjoyed an hour of mom’s dialoguing about raising healthy and whole children.  

Readers had some great questions, and I enjoyed not just answering the questions but reading other mothers’ solutions to those issues.   It was a pleasure to be a sponsor and to be able to address the issues that young girls face, even the transition to wearing eyeglasses.  I trust that The Princess Who Wore Glasses will be a helpful tool and gift for any young girl and her parents as they make this journey. 

 Included in the evening was a Giveaway of The Princess Who Wore Glasses!  There are still four more days to enter the drawing on Penny’s Blog.  Here is the link to the Giveaway below.  The image below is what you will see when you go to find the Giveaway.  Don’t forget to “like” Meet Penny’s Facebook page!
