Eyes that kiss at the corners6/19/2023 Rather, it is the ways in which we are the same inside (not the differences on the outside) that connect us. There are many children's books that focus on how the physical differences between child and parent don't matter at all. The book is written by Joanna Ho and illustrated. Eyes That Kiss in the Corners may unintentionally reinforce the idea that "naturally conceived" families are somehow forever more bonded, connected, genuine, or real. Eyes That Kiss in the Corners is a childrens picture book about a young Asian girl feeling good about herself. Also, this may not be a book for alternative families or adoptive families, where kids might not share physical similarities with their family or parents. It's just a series of family scenes that feature poetic metaphors for describing Asian eyes. While it may not bother some, there's no story to speak of here. They have big, round eyes and long lashes. Additionally, the artwork and illustrations here by Dung Ho are stunning, gorgeous, and even partly educational in terms of learning about Chinese traditions and mythology. A young Asian girl notices that her eyes look different from her peers. To help combat so many Asian children being made fun of at school for having "Chinese" eyes or looking "Chinese," Eyes That Kiss in the Corners works to establish its own narrative of the beauty of difference. Author Joanna Ho packs this charming book with positivity, self-love, empowerment, and pride in your family heritage and culture.
