Jeremy and His Magic Glasses

By John B Thompson Jr and Kathy M Thompson

Jeremy Twiddle complains about everything. Nothing is fun, nothing is good enough, and nothing ever makes him happy. His toys are "too small," his room is "too stuffy," and even lunchtime becomes another reason to grumble. Jeremy is convinced the world is dull... until the day his father hands him a mysterious pair of "magic glasses."

At first, Jeremy thinks the glasses look ordinary. But when he puts them on, something extraordinary happens-his room feels cheerful, his lunch looks delicious, and the world suddenly seems bright, colorful, and full of wonderful things he never noticed before. The glasses don't change the world... they change Jeremy. And as he learns to look for beauty instead of flaws, his whole life transforms.

Years later, Jeremy discovers the truth: the glasses were never magic at all. He was the magic. By choosing gratitude over complaining, he learned to see joy everywhere.

This heartwarming story helps children understand:

The power of perspective

How gratitude can transform everyday moments

Why complaining makes life feel smaller-and appreciation makes it feel bigger

That happiness isn't found in perfect things, but in how we choose to see them

Perfect for parents, teachers, counselors, and classrooms, Jeremy and His Magic Glasses is a gentle, uplifting tale that encourages children to notice the good, appreciate what they have, and discover the magic inside themselves.

Includes interactive reflection questions to spark meaningful conversations about emotions, gratitude, and positive thinking.
