I Live in Tokyo Book

This is a great book if you are an educator and have a couple of Japanese students in your classroom...incorporating the concept of diversity awareness within the environment. This simple book provides just a glimpse of what it's like to live in Japan. The narrator of the story takes on the role of a young child talking about the key things they do on a monthly basis. They also go into small detail about Tokyo's clothing, culinary, and hobbies. Throughout the book, the readers can learn certain Japanese vocabulary and have pictures that correlate along with those words. Overall, this book allows the opportunity for "traditional" English speaking students to befriend their Japanese peers. Likewise, if a foreign student is a bit shy or standoff-ish, this book could provide them with a sense of comfort and relatability with their educator.
