Jasmine Toguchi, Mochi Queen
The first installment in this award-winning chapter book series for fans of Alvin Ho and Ivy & Bean follows a spunky Japanese-American heroine as she finds a way to participate in her family’s New Year celebration and makes a mess along the way!
Jasmine Toguchi is a flamingo fan, tree climber, and top-notch mess-maker!
She's also tired of her big sister, Sophie, always getting to do things first. For once, Jasmine wishes SHE could do something before Sophie―something special, something different. When the Toguchi family gathers to celebrate the New Year, Jasmine is jealous that her sister gets to help roll mochi balls by hand with the women. Since Jasmine is told she’s still too young to join in, she hatches a plan to help the men pound the mochi rice instead. Surely her sister has never done THAT before.
But pounding mochi is traditionally reserved for boys. And the mochi hammer is heavier than it looks. Can Jasmine build her case and her mochi-making muscles in time for New Year's Day?
With humor and warmth, Debbi Michiko Florence tells a relatable story of jealousy, family drama, and proving your worth, paired with Elizabet Vukovic's playful illustrations, readers can't help but root for Jasmine.
