(2) 4-6 Japanese fifth grader Ema and her pregnant (American) mother must move to the other side of Tokyo to stay for several months with Obaasan and Jiichan, Papa's parents. It's 2001, and the news is filled with heartbreak. When the baby arrives, Ema has the perfect name for her new sister--leaving her family and readers with hope for the future. Ema's narration is quiet and thoughtful in this deeply absorbing verse novel.
