"A Family Resemblance"

Sophia is often told that she looks just like her mother. They share the same almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, and bright smile. Whenever they go out together, people mistake them for sisters.

Sophia’s brother, James, doesn’t resemble their mom as much. Instead, he takes after their dad. James has the same broad shoulders, straight hair, and deep voice as their father.

Their grandmother, however, says that Sophia and James both remind her of their grandfather. She believes they inherited his kindness and sense of humor. “Looks aren’t everything,” she says. “What matters most is what’s inside.”

Sophia and James love hearing stories about their family’s past. It helps them understand not just who they look like but also the traits they share with their relatives.
