Beyond Me
Annie Donwerth-Chikamatsu
Told in verse, this novel centers on eleven-year-old Maya in the aftermath of Japan’s 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Although Maya’s family survives together and keeps its home, many homes and families around her have been torn apart. Days later, tremors still unsettle her. As her country responds to the disaster, Maya confronts fear and learns how community and even modest acts of kindness can matter in a time of tragedy.
