“For many children, getting the news that ‘you need glasses’ can be traumatizing. But adorable Randy Kazandy reminds kids (and parents) that putting on your first pair of specs is not only an adventure; it opens up a whole new world. Beautifully illustrated and wonderfully told, this book is a must-read for any child—bespectacled or not.”

“This sweet storybook, set to rhyming verse, would make a wonderful gift for a child who is about to visit the eye doctor for the first time, or just getting a first pair of glasses. The storyline, though simple and easy to understand, holds a profound, positive message for children. The illustrations are colorful and extremely pleasing to the eye – they make the story come to life! Kim did a beautiful job! I look for Randy Kazandy to be a new favorite among children’s books.”
Gena Suarez, Publisher, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
“Randy Kazandy, Where are Your Glasses? is a fun book set in rhyming verse about a young boy who doesn’t like the idea of wearing glasses. The story not only helps children understand the importance of being able to see, but helps children to not be afraid of visiting the eye doctor for the first time. The fun loving redhead Randy takes kids on wild ride as he tries to get rid of his glasses. This wonderful and adventurous story is completed by the colorful illustrations by Kim Sponaugle, which brings the adorable Randy and his adventurous spirit to life. I feel parents and children will enjoy reading this adorable story with its simple but meaningful message about wearing glasses.”
