Reviews


"The Sakura Tree is a gentle, pleasant picture book. . . Artwork by Karen Brownlee of Lethbridge, AB, is done in delicate watercolors, which suit the mild atmosphere of the story. . . This book might also be used in an art lesson to demonstrate Japanese fabrics and patterns." Recommended. -- CM Magazine"This exquisite picture book is the story of three sisters from Japan who are wed to men in different parts of Canada. The sisters each have their own interests and each choose one thing to bring with them to their new homes to remind them of the place they are leaving. This hard cover book is sturdily constructed and the illustrations are lovely. The end papers have real photos of Japanese brides, giving the story a stronger sense of authenticity. This book deserves a four star rating, an excellent choice for classrooms and libraries. The multicultural nature of this book is also a compelling reason to include it in your school. It has much to say about the strengths of family bonds that bind people together and help them face the challenges of living in a foreign land." -- Lane Education Service District (4 out of 5 Stars)
