About this listen

An Instant New York Times Bestseller!

This joyful and lyrical audiobook from New York Times best-selling author Eva Chen and cover illustrator Sophie Diao is a moving ode to the immigrant experience, as well as a manifesto of self-love for Chinese American children.

What do you see when you look in the mirror, Mei? Do you see beauty?

We see eyes that point toward the sun, that give us the warmth and joy of a thousand rays when you smile. We see hair as inky black and smooth as a peaceful night sky. We see skin brushed with gold.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends
