FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rhonda
Fischer, Author Of 'Randy Kazandy Where Are Your Glasses?',
Announces
Follett Listing
Successful children’s book will now be available in libraries
nationwide
[March 23, 2009
– Rancho Santa Margarita, CA] Author Rhonda Fischer announced
today that her highly successful children’s book, Randy Kazandy Where Are Your Glasses?,
has been included in the current Follett listing. Randy Kazandy Where Are Your Glasses?
will now be available to libraries nationwide. The book has been
approved by Parents magazine,
Old Schoolhouse
magazine and Stories for Children
magazine.
“Having Randy Kazandy accessible through Follett Library
Resources is fantastic news for children,” stated Ms. Fischer,
“as Follett covers schools and libraries from the heartland to
the inner city, from the East Coast to the West, across Canada and the
United States. I believe children who wear eyeglasses and their parents
will really benefit from having this book available.”
Randy Kazandy welcomes every child with and without glasses to come
share his fun adventures. Randy is clever, sometimes a
clown, but is always a boy who needs to wear glasses. But he struggles
getting used to the new and unnatural feeling of having glasses on his
face, and tries to ditch the glasses at every turn. With Randy’s
mother determined to get him to wear his glasses, Randy finally comes
to the conclusion that hiding the glasses just does not work, as
somehow, another pair always seems to appear. Randy learns to love
himself the way he is, with a motto, "I love being me."
“Ultimately the goal behind this book is to raise the self-esteem
of a child who is required to wear glasses,” says Ms. Fischer.
“This is almost universally perceived as a very negative event in
the life of a young child. Now librarians can have a resource in their
own libraries that will directly address this issue in a way that will
engage, delight and inform. I am very pleased that Follett made the
decision to make this book available to children nationwide.”
Follett is the nation's largest supplier of books, eBooks and
audiovisual materials. Follett Library Resources offers a vast
selection of educational materials. Their industry-leading expertise
allows them to deliver the best products and services available
anywhere.
