Say, Allen. (1999). Tea with Milk. New York: Houghton Mifflin Company. 32 pp.
Tea with Milk is the story of a teenage girl's transition from American culture to Japanese, her family's native land. She must adjust to the physical changes regarding clothing and etiquette. But she must also adjust to society's expectation of her as a woman. She wants to drive, work, and find her own husband. This book gives a solid insight to Japanese culture and gives us a clear comparison with the American culture.
This would be a great read aloud to introduce a unit based around culture.
