Summary: When
Yoko was very small, she and her Grandmother, Obaasan, fed the cranes in the
pond at the end of the garden. When Yoko moves to California, she remembers her
Grandmother and Grandfather in Japan. Every week letters go back and forth. She
thinks of their garden and their cranes. And when Grandmother's birthday comes,
Yoko sends the most wonderful gift of all. Rosemary Wells celebrates the love
between grandchildren and gradparents in this sequel to best-selling Yoko.
Review: A short story about moving away from family and
still keeping in contact. This was a
brief look at some Japanese terms as well as beautiful origami. A great book for learning about other
cultures.
