Abby's Birds por Ellen Schwartz
Abby's birds is a cute story about the passing down of the art of origami from one generation to the next. While the story was sweet and a glimpse into Chinese tradition, the illustrations are what captivated me. The theme of the book is centered around origami and Sima Elizabeth Shefrin used origami in a collage fashion to illustrate the story . Every texture in the illustration is created with different patterns of origami paper .
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This book is intended for kids, but that intention comes from big-hearted adults who are desperate to teach. The result? The publication has tons of heavy nonfiction crap preceding the actual novel. And while the characters are moving and well drawn, the storytelling gets heavyhanded at points. I, and adults, have been reading it for two years and still haven't gotten beyond their first couple days of internment.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This was the story of a Japanese family sent to an internment camp in WWII America. I was familiar with the history, and time period, but it was so different reading this story. I would recommend it for history buffs of all ages.
The author's latest novel, Heart of a Champion, tells the story of Vancouver's historic team of Japanese Canadian baseball players.
