Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Series: Jasmine Toguchi

Accompanied by drawings from Elizabet Vukovic, Debbi Michiko Florence writes a beautifully heartfelt and richly humorous eighth book in the Jasmine Toguchi series.

Eight-year-old Jasmine Toguchi is now an expert on travel and doesn't want summer to end! In this final book chronicling her family vacation in Japan, she visits Kyoto. And wowee zowee, on this vacation there is still lots more to see. This is their last stop, and Jasmine is thrilled to be enjoying the city with her older sister, Sophie, and her Obaachan who teaches her how to live in the moment. Sad to see their trip coming to an end, in true Jasmine fashion, she hatches a plan - involving vegetable seeds, a pink flamingo, and lots of love - to feel connected to her Obaachan even when she's back in the United States.
