Story about a kid who hates his glasses delights children
Paola, Kansas based author Rhonda Fischer has created a colorful and fun filled childrenīs book all about Randy Kazandy, a young boy who needs glasses to correct his vision problems.
Only Randy Kazandy hates his glasses. He thinks they make him look like an alien from outer space.
So he does everything he can to not wear his glasses, and even gets rid of them in some very ingenious and devious ways.
Only his mother has another pair, and then another pair, and even another pair.
Will Randy ever get used to wearing his glasses?
With the help of his parents he renders a motto: "I love being me," but is that enough to help Randy conquer his fears?
With colorful illustrations by Kim Sponaugle the rhyming verse builds confidence and self-esteem, and makes for a quality reading and learning experience at home with your child.
Randy Kazandy, Where Are You Glasses is based on the real life experiences of her brother in-law, Randy Jacque, who was born cross eyed, had to have corrective surgery and wear corrective lenses from the age of 17 months. He struggled with having to wear glasses, and did everything he could to get out of it. It took Rhonda 12 years to write the book and get it published.

Critical Praise
Brilliantly Randy Kazandy conquers the fears and inhibitions that wearing glasses might create for a child. The book ends triumphantly with the raising of the childīs self esteem as he is able to see a whole new world through his wonderful new glasses!
Beverly Spencer, MS, Southern California College of Optometry, Director of External Clinical Relations
It is so refreshing to have Randy Kazandy, a character with flaws and doubts kids can relate to. With colorful graphics and musically metered prose, Randy captures the reader with an uplifting message of overcoming obstacles. Way to go Randy!

A delightful, compelling story! Its moral makes parenting and childhood a little easier especially involving those with obstacles, whether big or small. Looking for hidden glasses throughout the book is a delight for kids.
Dr Douglas Mazzuca E DO, Mazzuca Eye & Laser Centers
In rhythmic, rhyming verse, Rhonda Fischer tells the story of Randy Kazandy, a boy who needs glasses but sure doesn't want them! Children will delight in the amusing antics of Randy as he tries to get rid of his glasses in the most peculiar ways until he finally finds the very best place for them. A great read for students with--and without--glasses.

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.
Jennifer Cho Salaff - Editor, Parenting OC Magazine
I admire your commitment to writing childrenīs books with positive messages. You have my best wishes for success of Randy Kazandyīs first adventure, and more to come!
