Wish I'd had this book 20 years ago for my kids...
What a sweet book! This book was a recommendation for me based on previous books purchased, and it's one of the best recommendations ever. I so wish I had books like this 20 years ago when my now adult adopted kids were littles, and felt the weight of looking different in our family. I didn't have many sweet, lovely diverse children's picture book options like this but I am thrilled to get to read it to my grandkids. My favorite page is one with the grandma or Amah.Re the issue others touched on of whether this book would be appropriate for adoptive families ... I think it's going to depend largely on one's perspective and personal journey as an adoptive parent. My adopted kids always knew they were adopted, and we speak freely and openly about their adoptions. They always had photos of their birth parents. It's not a secret that they have acquired wonderful traits from their birth families. We are okay with open discussions. I showed it to my adult adopted daughter, the one with the eyes that kiss in the corners, and she said it was adorable. I know she longed for books featuring strong, beautiful characters like this one when she was a little girl so often being asked why she looked different from the rest of her family.I love that this book celebrates the differences that our kids see between themselves and their friends and peers.This will definitely be one I would gift to other families and am recommending it to my parent and teacher friends.

This is a story not of insecurity or overcoming it, but of seeing what makes one different and knowing in your bones that that is beautiful. It’s a reflection of Chinese cultural identity, of maternal connections, and of the preciousness of close familial ties. Technically, there isn’t much of a plot here, and that works. It’s more like a poem about embracing one’s Chinese heritage.
Things to note:
1. Grandma here is referred to as Amah, which is a Hokkien term (and maybe other dialects, too). Mom is Mama and the younger sister is Mei-mei, both of which are Mandarin-ish.
2. There are lovely illustrations of Chinese mythical characters such as the Monkey King, Chang’e, etc., so be prepared to research stories in case kids ask who they are.
3. Some words like oolong, sapphires, baubles, etc. pop up, which might need further explanation for younger readers.
Nevertheless, I love it and will be gifting this to my nieces who also have beautiful eyes that kiss in the corners!
A reflection on identity plus gorgeous illustrations

First of all, it’s a BIG and beautifully illustrated book. It’s as tall as an 8x11in sheet of paper (see photo).Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
