Goodreads
“Eyes that Weave the World’s Wonders” showcases a young girl of Korean descent processing the feelings of being adopted, and weaving those feelings together into her own story. Her adoptive family is wonderful, and she shares so many special moments with both of her parents. But she still wonders about where she came from, and acknowledges that her white adoptive family doesn’t look like her. The text is vibrant, descriptive, and tugs at the heartstrings. The illustrations are stunning, with images tying together her different worlds into her own experience. This is a must have for any library collection, and increases awareness for and representation of adoptive families. Recommended for ages 5-7 (Kindergarten to 2nd Grade).
