More About Kira-Kira. Cynthia Kadohata

Usually while I lay in bed, I liked to think of new things I could do for Lynnie. Maybe I could let her try my pillow to see if she liked it better. Or I could bring her a new cracker she'd never tried. Or maybe I could even find a new book that she'd never heard of and read it to her, even though she had heard of every book in the world.

Cynthia Kadohata, Kira-Kira... Some days I think she was really miserable, because she cried a lot. In a way, I'd had to steel my heart to her crying. You need to steel yourself to a lot of things when someone in your family is really sick. Cynthia Kadohata, Kira-Kira For everything in my life, I would ask, Why?

It was because my father needed to work at this hatchery so he could support us better. Why did I kind of like that boy? Because he was kind of cute. And why was Lynnie sick? Why? There was no answer to that. Cynthia Kadohata, Kira-Kira

I think the author meant for that to happen anyway. There was really nothing to this story, though. I mean, two sisters love each other, think they're... Being of Japanese descent, I recognized so much that was in my childhood of the day to day existence and the way the family operated. I grew up in California but I think the racism that was experienced in the book was what my parent generation had to deal with in the South. I particularly appreciate the correct pronunciation of the... This historical fiction novel kept me intrigued to find out what would happen. A young Japanese girl named Katie tells of a story about her relationship with her sister Lynnie. She builds up that connection they have, by telling stories of struggles she and her family face and how her sister is a big part of all of them. Lynnie is sick...
