Book Reviews of Suki's Kimono
Book Review: Suki's Kimono
Summary: 5 Stars
Suki's Kimono is a delightful book. We were learning about Japan and tried on Kimono's at Epcot. So my six year old daughter wanted a book on kimonos. Our librarian recommended this book. After reading it every night for a month I decided to buy it. It is our favorite. It's about a little girl who is starting school and she wants to wear her kimono her obachen (grandmother) brought her from Japan while visiting for the summer. Her older sisters tell her she should wear something cool. They both have new shoes and a new shirt to wear. At the end of the school day something wonderful happens. Suki comes home happy while her sisters grumble about how no one noticed their new shoes and shirt. I love the story because it shows that you don't have to be cool or trendy for people at school to like you. You just need to be yourself. It also teaches a lesson about ignoring bullies. Plus, you learn a lot of Japanese words and a glimpse about their culture. I highly recommend this book!
Summary of Suki's Kimono
Suki's favorite possession is her blue cotton kimono. A gift from her obachan, it holds special memories of her grandmother's visit last summer. And Suki is going to wear it on her first day back to school -- no matter what anyone says. When it's Suki's turn to share with her classmates what she did during the summer, she tells them about the street festival she attended with her obachan and the circle dance that they took part in. In fact, she gets so carried away reminiscing that she's soon humming the music and dancing away, much to the delight of her entire class! Filled with gentle enthusiasm and a touch of whimsy, Suki's Kimono is the joyful story of a little girl whose spirit leads her to march -- and dance -- to her own drumbeat.Issues Books
