by Melissa Sakamoto (Author), Tammy Do (Illustrator)
"We're at this famous shop in town, and yet it isn't fair. I'm the one onigiri that has no stunning flair!" But what if you are wonderful, made just the way you are?
Gohan is a plain onigiri who excitedly waits to be chosen by a customer. But when only the fancy onigiri with tasty toppings are chosen, Gohan decides it's time to make a change. There's just one problem: no matter what toppings he adds to himself, nothing feels quite right. Nothing, that is, until his pal, Paddy, takes Gohan on an adventure through Japan's charming cherry blossom season.
Enriched with lively rhymes and vibrant illustrations, little readers will learn elements of Japanese language and culture through Gohan's heartwarming journey of self-acceptance.
