As a licensed marriage and family therapist and mother of two, Laura Hertzfeld Katz knows how anxious school-aged children may become if they think they appear different from their peers. Yet she shows how these differences can often prove beneficial to a child’s health in “The Princess Who Wore Glasses” (ISBN 1453882405). Princess Liana shows young girls everywhere that they can be a princess and one who wears glasses.   

The King and Queen of TuaLuna notice their daughter struggling with her eyesight, and therefore missing out on all the beauty of their kingdom. The family sets out on an exciting journey to visit the Court Magician who gives Liana the gift of magic eyeglasses. These spectacles help the princess clearly see each exciting detail of her new world. She soon realizes that life is so much better with her glasses.

With nearly 25 percent of elementary school students experiencing vision problems that interfere with learning, Katz felt the need to speak out on the problem.

“Young girls often struggle with their self-image, especially when they perceive themselves as different,” Katz says. “By connecting royalty and glasses, I hope little girls will feel more comfortable wearing them in front of their friends.”

Katz’s “The Princess Who Wore Glasses” provides parents with a resource to improve the self-esteem of their young ones who require a transition to eyeglasses.

“The Princess Who Wore Glasses” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
