Eyes that Kiss in the Corners
Joanna Ho
A Chinese girl reflects on the shape and beauty of her eyes and recognizes the same feature in her mother, grandmother, and younger sister. Her grandmother’s eyes carry stories, including tales of Guanyin and the Monkey King, while the girl connects her own eyes with family history and hope ahead. The book follows these intergenerational similarities as the narrator affirms her shared appearance, cultural pride, and sense of self.
