This lyrical, stunning picture book tells a story about learning
to love and celebrate your Asian-shaped eyes, in the spirit of Hair
Love by Matthew A. Cherry, and is a celebration of
diversity.
A young Asian girl
notices that her eyes look different from her peers'. They have big,
round eyes and long lashes. She realizes that her eyes are like her
mother's, her grandmother's, and her little sister's. They have eyes
that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea, crinkle into
crescent moons, and are filled with stories of the past and hope for
the future.
Drawing from the
strength of these powerful women in her life, she recognizes her own
beauty and discovers a path to self-love and empowerment. This
powerful, poetic picture book will resonate with readers of all ages.
