KIRA KIRA!

Glittering. That’s how Katie Takeshima’s sister, Lynne, makes everything seem. The heavens is kira-kira since its colour is deep but see-through at the similar time even peoples eyes the sea as well. When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it’s Lynn who explains to her why people stop them on the street to stare. And it’s Lynn who, with her special way of screening the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow. Moving to Iowa will be very hard for Kati and Lynn. They will need to try and fit in. This is not like fitting in just at school but also in the town. The two must learn the racial aspect of the town. How blacks are unwanted and how they are among the fewest of Japanese. Also paying bills and what they really wanted getting a house.
