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.

Mariko The way you talk about it makes me want to read it as well! Where did you find it?
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.
