One day, she meets her neighbor, a boy named Luke, and begins to feel a little more settled. She wonders how she’ll ever feel at home in this new place, with its unfamiliar language and landscape. When she arrives in the States, most of all she misses her grandmother and the cherry blossom trees, under which she and her grandmother used to play and picnic. Sakura’s dad gets a new job in America, so she and her parents make the move from their home in Japan. Congratulations to our authors and illustrators!Ī warm, gorgeous exploration of a little girl’s experience immigrating to a new country and missing her home and her grandmother, who still lives far away. We’re happy to share that Sakura’s Cherry Blossoms and Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein made the list. Evanston Public Library has shared their 101 Great Books for Kids list for 2018.
