Review

â€œHeart-lifting and inspiring, A Girls' Guide to the Islands explores the restorative and often-unexpected way that travel breeds connection not only with the world around us, but within ourselves andâ€•most importantlyâ€•each other." --Nicole Trilivas, author of Girls Who Travel (Nicole Trilivas Gemma Open Door for Literacy)Touring art museums with a teenager may not sound like everyoneâ€™s idea of a good time, and at the beginning of this pocket-sized memoir, Shikoku-based writer Suzanne Kamata finds herself wondering how she can renege on a promise to take her daughter to a Yayoi Kusama art exhibit in Osaka. Traveling for the duo is fraught with more than the typical difficulties: Kamata, an American, uses sign language to communicate with her daughter, who copes with hearing challenges and gets around by wheelchair. However, after the Osaka trip is successful, Kamata vows to take advantage of her daughterâ€™s burgeoning interest in art and embarks on a mother-daughter odyssey to visit some of the stunning exhibits scattered around the islands of Japanâ€™s Inland Sea. In the process the pair build more than memories, as seeing things through her daughterâ€™s eyes is a catalyst for new discoveries and self-reflection for the author. Meanwhile, her daughter emerges as a character in her own right, as colorful as Kusamaâ€™s famous dotted pumpkins. This book offers multiple perspectives that would appeal to anyone interested in travel, art, accessibly issues or parent-teen relationships. Kamataâ€™s style is as fresh and breezy as the winds that whip the islands she writes about. As the book closes, Kamata offers the bittersweet observance that her daughter, now in her mid-teens, is gravitating more toward friends than family, making Kamata all the more glad she made the effort to travel together. Kamataâ€™s fans are likely to be grateful, too. (Louise George Kittaka The Japan Times)â€œA Girls' Guide to the Islands follows author Suzanne Kamata's journey with her daughter, Lilia, into the remote realm of the Seto Inland Sea's world-class art collection. Beautiful in its directness and honesty, A Girls' Guide examines the nature of accessibility and independence as Kamata and Lilia face challenges physical, emotional and artistic. The trip yields unexpected, occasionally amusing adventures as the two women explore new landscapes as well as their own changing relationship." --Kelly Luce, author of Pull Me Under (Kelly Luce Gemma Open Door for Literacy)

kind of a sweet' little' book and story. I was looking for as much art as travel story. didn't have that.

Loved this little book! The island refer to the islands of Japan (specifically, the Shikoku area.) It's about American writer Suzanne Kamata and her daughter (who uses a wheelchair and is hearing impaired) taking trips to art museums. I don't know much about this part of Japan, so found it really interesting to learn about it. And also from Suzanne and her daughter's point of view: for example, they stay in their car during ferry rides because (while other people enjoy the scenery from the upper deck) because there is no wheelchair access to the upper deck.Lilia reminds me so much of my son! I guess kids are alike everywhere.....
