A young boy comes to recognize his own power and ability to change the
future. When a friend at school creates a hurtful drawing, the boy turns
to his family for comfort. He realizes that his eyes rise to the skies
and speak to the stars, shine like sunlit rays, and glimpse trails of
light from those who came before--in fact, his eyes are like his
father's, his agong's, and his little brother's, and they are visionary.
Inspired by the men in his family, he recognizes his own power and
strength from within. This extraordinary picture book redefines what it
means to be truly you.
Eyes That Kiss in the Corners received three starred reviews and was
embraced as "breathtaking," "lyrical," and "poignant." This companion
volume is sure to be welcomed with equal joy.
