Summary: Teaching Kids to Think
Comment: I disagree with the PW review of Pak's latest book, A Place to Grow. The reviewer suggests that the majority of children cannot understand the political undertones of immigration. I tend to think that the thousands of children who arrive in this country as they and their families flee political and economic persecution might disagree with such a blanket statement. As a 5th grade teacher, I rely on all types of books, including many picture books, to illustrate important social, economic, and political aspects of the world. Pak uses images familar to many children (a seed and garden) to explain why her family came to this country from South Korea. While it's true that young children would have trouble understanding the political overtones of this book on their own, it doesn't mean these issues can't be shared and explained. Older children (8,9,10 and up) are quite capable of pulling meaning from a story like Pak's, and connect the issues it raises to their own lives and the larger world. A Place To Grow tells an important and very real story.
