I already have a list of my friends' kids I'm going to be gifting this book to.

 This books is an uplifting and adorable book about an East Asian girl wondering why her eyes are different from her non-Asian friends and learning to love how wonderful they are. It’s more than just how unique the eye shape is or how pretty the color is. The book is going by the old saying “eyes are the window to the soul.” The person behind the eyes are what makes them beautiful. The young girl learns this through herself, her mother, sister, grandmother and her heritage. The watercolor artwork is vibrant and charming. Lovely book all around to give to a young girl.
