Summary
Mr. Paul reads Eyes That Kiss in the Corners, a story about a young girl learning to cherish her distinctive eyes. Although she notices that some people have big eyes and long lashes, she realizes that her own eyes—warm and shaped like her mother’s—are beautiful.
Her eyes connect her to the women in her family: Mama’s loving, laughing gaze; Amah’s eyes, rich with wisdom and stories; and little Mei-Mei’s adoring look. Seeing herself reflected in them, the girl recognizes that her eyes carry family history, love, strength, and hope. She ends by celebrating that her eyes are part of who she is—and that she and her family are beautiful.
