Sachiko—"happiness"
in Japanese—is the name shared by a young girl and her beloved grandmother.
Over the years, Grandmother has changed, and now, childlike herself, she
hardly recognizes her granddaughter Sachiko. Set within a Japanese American
family, the story shows how Sachiko's initial irritation with her grandmother's
erratic, seemingly inexplicable behavior changes to compassion and tact.
Sachiko Means Happiness is a sensitive, touching treatment of relationships
between generations and how they shift as they are faced with the problems
of aging. Recommended for all children by the Alzheimer's Society.
