Age: 1st-4th grade
Location: Japan
History: 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
Tough Issue: Sudden death of a loved one

A story told with equal parts lyrical writing and candor, Smith fictionalizes the true story of a phone booth used to communicate with lost ones. A beautiful way to show the beginning stages of recovery from a traumatic incident.
