I read these two in search of a multicultural book for class. These are companion books. One is for boys and one is for girls. Both are rooted in Asian culture and discuss about why Asian people have different shaped eyes and that it's okay to look different.
📖📖📖📖

Eyes That Kiss in the Corners: 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.
📚📖📚📖

Eyes That Speak to the Stars A young Asian boy notices that his eyes look different from his peers' after seeing his friend’s drawing of them. After talking to his father, the boy realizes that his eyes rise to the skies and speak to the stars, shine like sunlit rays, and glimpse trails of light from those who came before—in fact, his eyes are like his father’s, his agong’s, and his little brother’s, and they are visionary.Inspired by the men in his family, he recognizes his own power and strength from within.
