Answer:

She means that her mom is thinking about the story

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression behind someone's eyes means that there is a mental process to remember or create a story coming from her mother about the reason why Picasso was blue. The expression " she relates anecdotes I will never find in books" supports the idea that everything comes from her brain and not from books.
