When the Elephants Dance
When the Elephants Dance - Tess Uriza Holthe
World War II in the Philippines - not fun. My sister passed this one on, too, and it was good, albeit depressing in places. Children living through war is horrifying, and the children who were slaughtered were no less upsetting. The neat twist to this one was the storytelling amongst the main characters, as they hid from the Japanese occupation. Lots of folklore and illumination of the Filippino culture. The pregnant sister-in-law will enjoy this, I think.
