Junior historical/fantasy fiction. In 1927 fifty-eight handmade dolls from Japan were sent to the United States as ambassadors of friendship. In this fictional account one of the dolls, Miss Kanagawa, interacts with four different children in many time periods from New York to Oregon. In each case she helps these children by putting thoughts into their minds to help them through some tough times they are experiencing.
This was an easy quick read that I enjoyed. Each story gave a taste of what it was like for a child to live during the Depression, in the hollers of Kentucky, and traveling from Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl days to California. It was a great way to spend part of my Memorial Weekend.
Recommend: Yes.
