Somewhere Among

Eleven-year-old bi-cultural Ema hopes to find peace in her relationships at home, with a bully at school, and within herself. The story is set in Japan 2001. At that time, my children were in Japanese public elementary and nursery school. Historical events and tragedies that Japan and the United States have shared as well as details from our family life are woven through the story. References and resources can be found on my author's website. My blog, Here and There Japan, written for children highlights photos and cultural details. Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year Crystal Kite Award 2017  Freeman Book Award 2017  Writers' League of Texas Book Award 2016Writers League of Texas Manuscript Award 2013
