|  | A Carp for Kimiko by Katherine Roundtree, Virginia L. Kroll
Kimiko is excited that she, her brothers, and her parents will be celebrating Children's Day together. When Kimiko's mother hangs up three carp-shaped kites in honor of her sons, Kimiko wonders why there is no carp flown in her honor. Kimiko's mother explains to her that Japanese tradition dictates that carp flags be flown only to honor boys. Kimiko is upset until a mother finds a special way to show how important Kimiko is to the family. Color illustrations accompany the text. AUTHOR: Katherine Roundtree, Virginia L. Kroll
