I think the book Weedflower accurately shows what Japanese Americans went through around the time of world war II. I was very unaware of Japanese American culture and how they were treated in the past. I think this book would be a wonderful story to share with a 4th or 5th grade classroom. It is a great work of historical fiction. The usage of flowers and gardens makes the story creative and fun. Sumiko uses these things for survival and hope. She then meets a boy name Mohave and they become great friends. I think that Sumiko is a great character for the children to connect with and learn about. This would be a wonderful book for a history lesson as well as teaching diversity. It would be wonderful for the children to learn about racism and different cultures.
