[LM_NET] HIT: picture book with aspects of internationalism

[Lucia Miller <miller.lucia@COMCAST.NET>]

Thank you, again, for the many peers who took the time to help me with my query. I 
know how busy we all are, so I do appreciate you all taking the time to answer me 
with your suggestions; they were great!

I am leaning toward one I found reviewed in Booklist: Henry and the Kite Dragon or 
the suggested Firekeeper's Son. Here are the other suggestions, which I will 
definitely look into for other needs of the program:

 
Ruby Mae has something to say by David Small.

I recently read the book The Firekeeper's Son by Linda Sue Park.  The
pictures are sumptuous; the story is based on historical information;
the main character has to call on his own sense of honor and
responsibility (pretty good leadership traits).  
The summary on our entry reads:
"In eighteenth-century Korea, after Sang-hee's father injures his
ankle, Sang-hee attempts to take over the task of lighting the evening
fire which signals to the palace that all is well.  Includes historical
notes."  
I hope you can find it and I hope you, too, think it's worth
considering.

Since it's Dr. Seuss this week, a few of those come to mind.
The Sneeches, or Yertle the Turtle perhaps.
