After watching her father's old home movies from her childhood, Ms. Lowry realized that as she played on the beach in Hawaii, the ship sailing on the horizon was the Arizona, which was bombed during Pearl Harbor. This realization prompted her to write this book.
Through verse form, she shares the tragic events of Pearl Harbor and of Hiroshima and then pieces of her life when she lived in Tokyo.
Simple but powerful.
Strategies: inferences, asking questions
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
