Powerful Pink” is the message Peeps Eyewear’s founder, Kristin Ellsworth wants to spread this Valentine’s Day season.

Out of love for her daughter, she wrote the book, Princesses Wear Glasses, hoping to change the passive persona of the typical princess character and help give children who wear glasses a sense of joy and pride. In the book, the adventurous Princess Annie, dressed in pink sparkly glasses, a cape and crown, bravely befriends a lost dragon. With the help of her glasses and a sense of adventure, Princess Annie saves the day.

“Princesses Wear Glasses is not about the way a child looks from the outside, it’s what they have on the inside.” says Ellsworth.  “I want children to love wearing glasses for what they can see and what they can do.”
