Beautifully illustrated celebration of heritage and how your body shows it. This book would work well for primary ages because of the short pages and emphasis on illustrations. This book is about a young Asian girl who notices her eyes are different than others and she learns to embrace the beauty and stories within her eyes. This would be a great book to use when teaching about diversity or other cultures. It also would be good to have in the classroom as Asian representation. independent reading level: 2nd to 3rd grade Awards: Golden Kite Award for Picture Book Text A New York Times Bestseller and #1 Indie Bestseller A Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year School Library Journal Best Book of 2021 Golden Poppy Book Award Winner 2021 Nerdy Award Winner Kirkus Children's Best Book of 2021 From School Library Journal: This is a book of self-acceptance and learning that while our looks may be different than others, we add to the rich culture of the country where we live. Wonderfully beautiful with a special message of the reality that differences are good. When the girl realizes her eyes have the same shape as her sister, her mother and her grandmother. They all have eyes that glow like warm tea, and their shape lends to a kiss in the corner. The illustrations are incredibly beautiful. And, the story of love of family From School Library Journal: K-Gr 3--When she does not share physical traits with those around her, a young girl finds beauty in her uniqueness. One day at school, a young girl of Asian heritage remarks on the shape and color of the eyes of the light- and dark-skinned girls in her class. Instead of having big eyes with long lashes, hers "kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea." At home, the girl celebrates all she shares with her Mama, Amah, and little sister Mei-Mei. Together, these four women view the world through their matching, expressive eyes. Even when she feels apart from her peers at school, the young protagonist finds solace in the shared appearance of her family's eyes. Sweeping, expressive illustrations deeply connect readers to the many dimensions of this story. The featured characters comprise three generations of Asian women; the only male in the book is found in the background of a scene in the schoolyard. Lyrical text propels the story; while relatively limited, each word is carefully chosen to beautifully enhance the message. VERDICT Expertly paired, the text and illustrations amplify each other superbly, in an important addition to every library serving young children and their families.--Mary Lanni, formerly at Denver P.L. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"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 and is a celebration of diversity."--Provided by publisher. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
