That's how Katie Takeshima's sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. The sky is \u003ci\u003ekira-kira\u003c\/i\u003e because its color is deep but see-through at the same time. The sea is \u003ci\u003ekira-kira\u003c\/i\u003e for the same reason. And so are people's eyes. 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 on the street to stare. And it's Lynn who, with her special way of viewing the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow. But when Lynn becomes desperately ill, and the whole family begins to fall apart, it is up to Katie to find a way to remind them all that there is always something glittering -- \u003ci\u003ekira-kira\u003c\/i\u003e -- in the future.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cynthia Kadohata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/1\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.65\" H x 5.16\" L x 0.73\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780689856402\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021007732890,"sku":"9780689856402","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9780689856402.jpg?v=1774838188","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/kira-kira-cynthia-kadohata-paperback","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
