Suki's Kimono is a fun realistic fiction book about a young girl named Suki, who absolutely loves her blue cotton kimono. This was a very inspiring and fun book to read. The author writes about how it is important to be proud of your heritage.
Kimonos are made from long pieces of fabric, usually sewn by hand along straight seams, with a collar attached to give a clean shape around the neck. The fabric is not cut to fit the shape of the wearer, but instead folded and draped around the body, and held in place with an obi (a stiff, long fabric sash).
