Illustrated by Dung Ho
5 stars
Another lush, heartwarming, gorgeous read from Joanna Ho and Dung Ho.
Through poetic text, the narrator describes how her eyes are different from her adoptive family’s and how their loves connects them. It explores the narrator’s relationship with her adoptive father and mother, and her curiosity about her birth mother.
Nice representation of feeling accepted by adoptive families even when they don’t look the same, still having questions about one’s birth parents, and connecting to one’s cultural heritage.
The illustrations are breathtaking, filled with rich colors and graceful lines.
Beautiful, validating, and much-needed representation of transracial and intercountry adoption. A wonderful read.
