Eyes That Kiss in the Corners by Joanna Ho
5.0
EYES THAT KISS IN THE CORNERS written by Joanna Ho and illustrated by Dung Ho (40 pp, HarperCollins) – a 2021 publication focused on one girl’s discovery of the differences in the shape of her eyes from those of her friends. The girl notes how her eyes, and those of the women in her family, are filled with stories from the past, hope for the future, and they are all beautiful – and so is this story, which I hope your family will enjoy as well.
My eyes find mountains
that rise ahead
and look up
when others shut down.
My lashes curve like the
swords of warriors
and, through them,
I see kingdoms in the clouds.
My eyes that kiss in the corners and
glow like warm tea
are a revolution.
