Reseña del editor:
Highly Recommended."
-- CM Magazine
"Set on the West Coast during the Second World War, this exquisitely sad and beautiful book tells of the friendship between Mary, a prairie girl visiting her grandmother for the summer, and Mr. Hiroshi, the next-door neighbour, who shares his garden with her until he is interned with the other Japanese Canadians in the area. When Mary says goodbye to Mr. Hiroshi, she promises to look after his garden. She keeps her promise until the house is sold, and then honours the friendship by transplanting two of his irises - a variety called flags - in the soil of her prairie home."
-- Quill and Quire
"Ages 4 to 8 will enjoy the strong colours of these full-page illustrations for a story that is both sad, enlightening and educational."
-- Burnaby Now
"Flags is a powerful retelling of a dark incident in Canadian history - the Japanese Canadian internment during World War II. Maxine Trottier has taken a small piece of this much larger and more complex story and told it in a language and setting which young children can understand."
-- Association for Teacher-Librarianship in Canada
Mary helps a neighbor, Mr. Hiroshi, in the garden and promises to take care of it when he is taken away in the midst of World War II, but when the old man does not return, she must find another way to preserve it.

Descripción Softcover. Condición: New. Morin, Paul Ilustrador. White Raven Award of the International Youth Library winner, 2000A CCBC Our Choice BookRecipient of The Storytelling World Honor Title, 2000Notable Book, Social Studies, Children's Books Council"I will take care of your garden, Mr. Hiroshi," I offered.He smiled. "That would give me great comfort, Mary," he said. "The koi aregreedy, you know. Do not let them get fat." We watched the bus drive away.For Mary, too young to fully understand about war and far-off places, the promise was meant to last only until Mr. Hiroshi came back. But after a while it was clear that her friend wouldn't be coming home. Still, Mary faithfully kept her word all through that long summer. And when the new people came to live in Mr. Hiroshi's house, she knew exactly what to do.A tale as elegant as a Japanese garden!Once more, Maxine Trottier takes a small piece of a larger story, nurtures it with care, and grows a tale as elegant as a Japanese Garden. Mr. Hiroshi's Garden is a simple story of innocence and friendship set against a backdrop of fear and suspicion. A story that must be told and told again-but never allowed to recur.Originally published as Flags. Nº de ref. del artículo: DADAX1550051520
