[The Bursting Bookshelf of a Wallflower · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars!

The topic of this book is as relevant today as it was back then, maybe even more so! This would be a great class room lecture to help integration.

Short book, nice to discuss with children about culture differences. Story is otherwise empty.
