Book Reviews of The Way We Do It in Japan
Book Review: A Good One
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is so cute. We are Americans living in Japan and my daughter has lived here her whole life (since she was a few months old) so she attends Japanese school, is bilingual, and deeply Japanese-cultured. I know she will be culture-shocked when we return to the States in a year and a half, and I thought this book would be a different way to help her with the differences she will experience when we move to the States.
This book is the reverse of what we are doing, but the principals are all the same. She says maybe she should translate this book and read it to her classmates so that they can understand what American children are feeling when they move here (in case they become classmates with future American children). She doesn't yet understand that her bilingualism is the only reason her elementary school accepted her into the school as an American, but I thought her idea was so emphatic and sweet!
Overall, I think this book applies to an array of educational areas. I'll be waiting for more like it!
