BOOK:
EYES THAT KISS IN THE CORNERS
When she does not share physical traits with those around her, a young girl finds beauty in her uniqueness. Instead of having big eyes with long lashes, hers "kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea." Sweeping, expressive illustrations deeply connect readers to the
many dimensions of this story.

LITERACY TIP
Asking children thought provoking and age appropriate questions can help boost their vocabulary and language environment. Some ways to extend conversation with children include:
Ask children about what they are doing both in and outside of the school environment.
Ask children to provide explanations to situations - what do they think happened
or how you can help them solve a problem?
Ask children to make predictions about what is going on in the books
that you read together and what is happening daily in your classroom.
Ask children to connect learning to their own lives.
