"Eyes That Speak to the Stars," written by Joanna Ho, Illustrated by Dung Ho
"Ojitos que le hablan a las estrellas," escrito por Joanna Ho, ilustrado por Dung Ho
A young Asian boy notices that his eyes look different from his peers' after seeing his friend’s drawing of them. After talking to his father, the boy 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.
Un joven asiático se da cuenta que sus ojitos se ven diferentes a los de sus compañeros después de ver el dibujo de su amigo. Después de hablar con su papa, el niño aprende que sus ojitos se elevan hacia el cielo y le hablan a las estrellas, brillan como los rayos de sol y vislumbran los rastros de luz de los que vinieron antes; de hecho, sus ojos son como los de su papa, de su abuelito y de su hermano chico, y son visionarios.
Inspirado por los hombres de su familia, reconoce su propio poder y fuerza desde dentro. Este libro ilustrado extraordinario redefine lo que significa ser verdaderamente tú.
