COOL BLUES takes the children through Hunter's experiences as he overcomes his concerns about wearing glasses and accepts his role as the COOL BLUES GUY when his friends give him the biggest surprise of all.
Cool Blues is the story of a seven-year-old boy name Hunter who learns he needs to wear glasses.
At first, the whole idea is exciting; the eye examination, picking out new frames, and being able to see clearly.
Although his new glasses are a spiffy blue colour, he worries his friends will think he looks funny or weird.
Cool Blues takes the children through Hunter's experiences as he overcomes his concerns about wearing glasses and accepts his new roll as the Cool Blues Guy when his friends give him the biggest surprise of all.
Excerpt
Dr. Logan moved the eye machine close to Hunter's face and dimmed the lights. Flip, flip went different pieces of glass for Hunter to look through.
He read the largest letters, he read the smallest letters. Some letters were blurry at first. Then, when Dr. Logan flipped a new piece of glass, the letters were easy to read. He answered all Dr. Logan's questions.

"Oh, Hunter," megan said, "I love your glasses! Cool."
Megan's girlfriend said, "I didn't know they had glasses in blue. I love blue."
Professional Reviews
Cool Blues
I read this book at the library to a group of 6-9 year olds. They were drawn in by the story and were quite excited about the "blue" glasses Hunter picked.
I was in the process of getting new glasses for myself and when I asked what colour they thought I had picked, all the children shouted, "blue."
