When a hurtful drawing makes a young boy realize that his eyes are different from his friends’, he feels confused and upset. But when his Baba reminds him that they share the same eyes, he starts to see things differently. He thinks about his Agong’s and Di-Di’s eyes too – how they all rise to the skies and speak to the stars – and begins to see the beauty in his own.

The companion to Ho’s acclaimed Des bisous au coin des yeux, this lyrical, poignant picture book gracefully encourages kids to embrace what makes them unique.
