In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson This wonderful book delightfully explores the joining of cultures in the great melting pot that is America. Set in 1947, it tells the story of Shirley Temple Wong who, with her family, leaves her native, ancestral home in China and sails off to a new life in Brooklyn. Making friends in this strange new world is very difficult for Shirley, until she discovers baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers and a wonderful hero and role model in Jackie Robinson. Ages 7-12.

Sadako and the Thousand Cranes by Eleanor Coerr, Ed Young (Illustrator). Picture book tells the moving story of a young girl dying of leukemia as a result of the bombing of Hiroshima 10 years earlier. At the beginning of the book, Sadako is a healthy young runner, which makes her a more sympathetic character and her death all the more poignant. The girl's hope, seen in her folding paper origami-style into cranes (a symbol of long life), becomes the symbol of mankind's hope for peace. Click here for review of the book. |
