Happy Okaasan’s Day!

Happy Okaasan’s Day from JetWit to all the JET alum moms, moms of JET alums and homestay moms too!

On the theme of JET alums and moms, you may want to get your mom a copy of author Suzanne Kamata’s (Tokushima-ken, 1988-90) new book — Call Me Okaasan:  Adventures in Multicultural Mothering, a collection of essays from 20 mothers around the world.

For some nice background on Suzanne, take a look at writer (and mother) Liz Sheffield’s (Hokkaio-ken, Sapporo-shi, 1993-95) interview with Suzanne about the book on Liz’s blog motherlogue.wordpress.com.
