I am a fan of wordless books, and this one offers many details for the children to hunt out and share what they notice.  The story begins in black and white and gray drawings of a young girl getting up to start her day when everything seems to be going wrong, from mom running late to brother throwing food to getting splashed by a puddle on the way to school in the rain.  And she’s not the only one having a rough day:  around the neighborhood we see someone falling off his bike, another facing a flat tire, a mom dealing with a crying baby, etc. After a thoroughly boring day at school, she notices a butterfly on the way home (the first spot of bright color in the book), and when she follows it, it leads her to a bright pink pair of glasses laying on the ground.  When she puts the glasses on, we turn the page to see them turning her world to one full of bright colors, where everything seems to be going great for everyone.  She wears the glasses for a day, seeing the world in a whole new way, but on the way home the next day she drops the glasses into a stream in the park.  At first she turns all gray again with a look of dismay upon her face, but then she looks around and notices that even without these glasses her world is still full of joy and good things and color (if perhaps not quite the same Technicolor intensity as with the glasses).  The final page turn shows another black and white a gray drawing of a boy looking glum as he comes across the magic pink glasses where they have drifted ashore.
