Glittering.
But when Lynn becomes desperately ill, and the whole family begins to fall apart, it is up to Katie to find a way to remind them all that there is always something glittering -- Kira-Kira -- in the future..
And it\'s Lynn who, with her special way of viewing the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow.
When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it\'s Lynn who explains to her why people stop on the street to stare.
And so are people\'s eyes.
The sea is Kira-Kira for the same reason.
The sky is Kira-Kira because its color is deep but see-through at the same time.
That\'s how Katie Takeshima\'s sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. Kira-Kira (kee ra kee ra): glittering; shining Glittering.
