CeCe's Red Glasses by Dr. Chaka Norwood
When a little girl in the Mississippi delta has trouble seeing the blackboard in school, her life’s course is set in motion by a visit to the eye doctor and an afternoon talk show host.
CeCe’s Red Glasses is the tale of perseverance and overcoming. From a small town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, CeCe draws inspiration from unlikely sources and demonstrates that perseverance in the face of adversity is the route to success and the fulfillment of life-long dreams. And at its heart, CeCe’s Red Glasses is a story for every young person who aspires to heights seemingly beyond reach.
