Description

From the author

“I’ve been a glasses-wearer myself since age 10 and some aspects of Eye Spyclops are drawn from personal experience,” Libby says. “There are also themes that all of us can likely relate to on some level, such as insecurity, self-acceptance, belonging, and being enough just the way you are.”

Libby’s quirky story is perfectly accompanied by Lily Uivel’s playful illustrations and pared back colour palette. “Lily brought my story to life even better than I could have imagined. Her art, zany and whimsical with just the right amount of enchanting detail, made me fall in love with the characters all over again.”

Reviews

“I love the ‘eye spy’ items in the back of the book to go back and look for, though I wish there were more! There are a number of lovely little (and big!) characters to spot throughout the book, which makes a lovely addition to the story and gives you a chance to go back and soak up the illustrations again and again.”
