The Sky We Shared

In this thoughtful and deftly woven WWII novel, an American and a Japanese teen with lives on opposite ends of the world discover that hate for an "enemy" leaves a heavy heart. In southern Japan, Tamiko spends her time writing in her diary, dreaming of making theatrical costumes, and praying her brother Kyo makes it back from the war. She wishes she could be brave like him and help the war effort. In rural Oregon, Nellie spends her time lying in the grass, studying the stars, and wishing for her pa to return from the war. She also wishes the boy next door, Joey, would talk to her again like he used to. Soon the girls' lives become inextricably linked. Tamiko and her classmates are brought to a damp, repurposed theater to make large paper balloons to help the military. No one knows what they are for. Nellie and her classmates ration food, work in salvage drives, and support their community. No one knows what's coming. Based on Japan's Project Fu-Go during the last stretch of World War II, The Sky We Shared uses the alternating perspectives of Nellie and Tamiko to depict the shared tragedies of two countries at war.

Storie di scout

C'è un momento, quando sei piccolo, in cui scopri che le parole hanno un potere. Non solo le parole urlate, quelle che si usano nei litigi o nei giochi rumorosi. Ma le parole calme, pensate, scelte. Le parole della Promessa. Quelle che dici e che restano dentro. Le parole della Legge, che sono come una mappa fatta di frasi. Le parole delle Storie raccontate la sera, attorno al fuoco o alla luce della torcia. Le parole degli scherzi tra compagni di sestiglia. Le parole con cui ti prendi cura degli altri. Le parole con cui chiedi scusa. Le parole con cui dici grazie. Le parole con cui dici "Ci sono". Io, da lupetto, quelle parole le ho incontrate tutte. E piano piano ho scoperto che non erano parole per cuccioli o per lupetti. Erano parole per umani. Perché crescere, in fondo, non significa diventare grandi. Significa diventare migliori.
