Kira-Kira trata sobre una familia estadounidense de origen japonés que vive en Georgia en la década de 1950. La historia se cuenta a través de los ojos de la joven Katie, llena de asombro y picardía, que adora a su hermana mayor, Lynn. Sus padres trabajan en una planta de procesamiento de aves de corral y el lector puede vislumbrar las injustas condiciones de trabajo de la época, así como el racismo que Katie y su familia enfrentaron como una de las pocas familias estadounidenses de origen japonés en la ciudad.
Los estudiantes pueden trazar los personajes de un libro y escribir sobre los rasgos físicos / de personalidad de cada personaje, sus interacciones con los demás y los desafíos que enfrentan.
