«Lentes, ¿quién los necesita?» is the children's picture book by Lane Smith, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in hardback (36 pages, in Spanish).
A young patient refuses to wear glasses because he believes only «bobos» need them. His eye doctor proves him wrong: his mother, his father and his sister wear them, as do a host of characters, including animals. Amid absurd situations he discovers that glasses can be fun and are no punishment at all.
Originally published as «Glasses: Who Needs 'Em?», it is part of the A la orilla del viento collection, Especiales series (Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1994).
For children aged 5 to 8, especially those starting to wear glasses who want a fun story that normalises this experience.
Lane Smith is an American illustrator and writer of children's books. He is the Kate Greenaway medalist (2017) known for his eclectic visuals and subject matter, both humorous and earnest, such as the contemplative Grandpa Green, which received a Caldecott Honor in 2012, and the outlandish Stinky Cheese Man, which received a Caldecott Honor in 1992.
