Nice cross-culture book, if a bit too long. Deals with some complex issues, including war. Like that they had pronunciation in the back for the Japanese words (my son seemed intrigued with the sounds of these words as I was reading). Enjoyed learning about wakame.

fantastic read for 7-8 year olds on bi-cultural families--told from the perspective of a hapa girl who lives in Japan and has two grandmothers, one from Japan and one from Maine, who meet each other for the first time. The poigniancy comes when they learn why and how each of the cultures learns the value of seaweed and how it connects them.
