Suki's Kimono Author:Chieri Uegaki FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. After a wonderful summer with her visiting grandmother, Suki decides to wear her blue cotton kimono on her first day of school where she also shares with her class tales of going to the street festival with her beloved obachan.
Fantastic, affirming story. Sparse writing communicates more depth of emotion than you would expect. The illustrations are cute, and I love to read this book to my daughter.
