Just as beautiful as I expected and then some. It’s clear that author and illustrator have a depth of love for their community that boils over into text and illustration. A much-needed addition to the growing collection of picture books that lovingly and firmly subvert the racist beauty standard messages sent to young kids.
The books that children see as early readers can set a stage for opening their minds for exploration, navigation & expanding their knowledge. We want our children to read and to read a lot. But how often do your children see themselves in the books they read? As early readers, we want books to empower them.
This gorgeously illustrated & powerful story is about a young girl who has eyes not like her friends. Author Joanna Ho beautifully writes, “I have eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea”. She recognizes the strong women in her life, her mama, her grandma, her sister has eyes like hers. They are filled with stories of the past, dreams of the future and are a revolution.
This is going to be a wonderful Christmas present to my 3 young girls who absolutely love to read & feel special that they are celebrated. This stunning book will resonate with diverse readers of all ages.
Thank you Harperkids for gifting me this delightful picture book. Dung Ho is an incredibly talented Vietnamese artist that lives in Vietnam. I am truly awed by her illustrations.

Marcos and I read this together in Barnes & Noble during their 50% sale. Because of this, the artistry, familiar language of Amah and Mei-Mei, I purchased this book and feel really good about seeing me in a picture book.
Eyes That Kiss in the Corners by Joanna Ho – This is on kindle unlimited. A wonderful intergenerational story with absolutely breathtaking illustrations! Perfection! Happy Reading!
I haven't read a book this year that deserves to exist more than this one. This book has the warmth of the hug you get from your favourite person in the world.
