Mimei's Wish

This is a story written by Mimei in the year following the deaths of his eldest daughter and son. It has a melancholic yet comforting, mysterious, and poetic tone. The story embodies Mimei's hope that children who pass away will be met by a slightly joyful and gently smiling boy when they are called to heaven.

One of Mimei`s most powerful pieces

Mimei's extensive detailing of every aspect of the marsh, along with the engaging narrative, made me reluctant for the story to end.

At the border of two nations, a monument with wild roses stands where two opposing soldiers form a friendship that is short-lived once war breaks out.

There's a simplified version with illustrations of this story available here: https://learnnatively.com/book/fed1186e72/

Long for a Graded Reader of this level, but pretty doable

The story follows a Kenyan exchange student who develops a fascination with Shiitake mushrooms and seeks to learn more about them. The story delves into technical details at times, but overall is quite feasible.
