A gentle book about a difficult topic
Rating  (4)
Date: 2007-02-13
I read this book with my 7 year-old daughter for a parent-child book club. It deals with a difficult topic but in a gentle and compassionate way. The children in the book group all seemed to have enjoyed the book and understood quite a bit of its messages, which are multi-layered. It provided a wonderful launching point for discussions about friendship and loss and fear. It also is a gentle way to help children who are ready start to think about what happens in war.

Having Faith in Yourself

Mieko and the fifth treasure is a great book. It takes place in Nagasaki,Japan where a girl [Mieko] is sure that she will become a great artist. When suddenly an atom bomb drops on Nagasaki she thinks she has lost the fifth treasurer that will help her become a great calligraphy artist. Her parents send Mieko to her Grandparents house and to a new school. I thought this book was fantastic because she thinks the pain will last forever but then she starts to have faith in herself.

In this well written multicultural book we get a glimpse of what life was like in Japan after the bombing of Nagasaki. Eleanor Coerr gives us a feel for the times and we can learn a lot about the culture of the Japanese people. A very inspiring story that makes us all want to look inside and find our fifth treasure.
