I love Yo-Yo Ma’s playing but this book was rough.

From Kirkus: "Elementary school teachers and parents of school-age children searching for examples of people connecting across borders and differences will delight in this sweet introduction—an excellent companion to Mitali Perkins and Sara Palacios’ Between Us and Abuela (2019) . . . hopeful and lovely."

K-Gr 3—A young girl of Asian heritage remarks on the shape and color of the eyes of the light- and dark-skinned
girls in her class, and finds beauty in her own features, and in those of her ancestors. The timing of this book
provides resonance to a strong message, lyrically told, winningly delivered.

Beautifully illustrated celebration of heritage and how your body shows it.
