This was so cute, the art looked like Disney's Mulan and I loved how the story celebrates Asian features.

I read this about 6 or 7 times this week to all my 1st-2nd grade classes in the library, but I could still read it a thousand more times because it is SO GOOD! The illustrations are beautiful, all the familial connections are so sweet, and the book’s message of self-love being revolutionary and empowering is such a great thing for young kids to hear. This is truly one of the best picture books I have ever read, it is simply spectacular!

Loved this book! It’s a wonderful book about self acceptance and body positivity.

Cute story and gorgeous illustrations

“My eyes crinkle into crescent moons
and sparkle like the stars.
Gold flecks dance and twirl
while stories whirl
in their oolong pools,
carrying tales of the past
and hope for the future.”

Oh my goodness. That was the cutest book ever. I will definitely be buying a copy to be able to read to my children when the time comes.
