We’re ringing in the new year with Jasmine Toguchi, an eight-year-old on a mission. She wants to pound mochi at her family’s traditional New Year’s celebration, which is traditionally a role reserved for boys. She devises a plan to prove that she’s ready, but you’ll have to pick up a copy to see if she is able to pull it off! A delightful and heartwarming story about traditions, family and strong-minded resolution. Jasmine Toguchi: Mochi Queen is first in the series about this spunky young girl and we can’t wait to read Super Sleuth (available now), Drummer Girl (out in April 2018) and Flamingo Keeper (out in July 2018). Happy new year, everyone!
