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.
