As an Asian American student myself I really enjoyed this book and how informative it was. It talked about topics such as diversity and racism in a way that children can understand and learn from. Children can really take in the lessons being told such as not judging someone based on their skin color. I liked how even a children's book can affect me and even make me connect to the characters. It made me sad how Keiko was a only a kid but still experienced racism from others. It teaches kindness and sympathy which I believe is an important lesson for children to learn and keep as they grow older.

And you're totally right. It's so sad that kids experience racism at such a young age. I hope that as multicultural books/books about diversity begin to permeate the world of children's literature, the younger generation will grow to be more open-minded and accepting of those who are different from themselves.
