Lulu's Rose Colored Glasses
|
From The Standard Times By Tyra Pacheco 12.12.2003
". . .The two were driving in a car, and Mrs. Pyne was not in the best of moods. Lulu, in the back seat, donned a pair of rose-colored glasses. She then offered them to her mother. But Mrs. Pyne resisted.
"After much pleading and begging, I tried them on and it changed my whole perspective on the world around me," Mrs. Pyne recalled. "We ended up having a really beautiful day. In that moment I listened to my child, and I allowed her to change our entire day. (Children) see things so clearly. We get the grayness and they see all the colors."
Mrs. Pyne was inspired to write a book about that special day.
"Lulu's Rose Colored Glasses" is a book about the wisdom of simplicity and seeing the world through a child's eyes. . . ."
From The Wanderer By Kenneth J. Souza 12.11.2003
". . .although the story itself may seem like an appropriate literary metaphor for viewing the world with optimism, Gretchan insists the tale is true. In fact, each copy of the book comes with a tiny pair of rose-colored glasses tied to it with a ribbon, just like the ones Olivia wore on that day. "Her father bought her those glasses two to three weeks prior and she lost them," Ms. Pyne said. "It was a typical New England day, and I was feeling really bummed out and she found the rose-colored glasses in the car. The story did happen the way it is in the book! It was so profound to me how she changed my perception that day. I know the rose-colored glasses are a symbol of that and it makes it that much more special to me." . . .
