Penny Positive: the gloom, the gift, & the glow (Heads Up)

This story is about a girl who finds herself gloomy sometimes, focusing on the negative things. But then she is offered magical glasses. When she puts them on she can see the positive side of things. After wearing them for a while she can see that there are always positive things one can focus on instead of the negative. In the end, she doesn’t need the glasses anymore, she learned to focus on the good side of life and doesn’t need help. Then, she passes on her magical glasses to other people who need them. This story is nice and does a good job of teaching kids that staying happy and positive is something we can all do and that we bear responsibility for how we feel and choose to look at things. The illustrations are nice. The main character’s pink hair and fun clothes are very cute and reliable for children.
