Suki's favorite possession is her blue cotton kimono. A gift from
her obachan, it holds special memories of her grandmother's visit
last summer. And Suki is going to wear it on her first day back to
school -- no matter what anyone says. When it's Suki's turn to
share with her classmates what she did during the summer, she tells
them about the street festival she attended with her obachan and
the circle dance that they took part in. In fact, she gets so
carried away reminiscing that she's soon humming the music and
dancing away, much to the delight of her entire class! Filled with
gentle enthusiasm and a touch of whimsy, Suki's Kimono is the
joyful story of a little girl whose spirit leads her to march --
and dance -- to her own drumbeat.
In this beautifully written picture book, Hana Hashimoto has signed
up to play her violin at her school's talent show. The trouble is,
she's only a beginner, and she's had only three lessons. Her
brothers insist she isn't good enough. "It's a talent show, Hana,"
they tell her. "You'll be a disaster!" Hana remembers how
wonderfully her talented grandfather, or Ojiichan, played his
violin when she was visiting him in Japan. So, just like Ojiichan,
Hana practices every day. She is determined to play her best. When
Hana's confidence wavers on the night of the show, however, she
begins to wonder if her brothers were right. But then Hana
surprises everyone once it's her turn to perform even herself!
