Jasmine Toguchi is an eight-year-old Japanese American girl who wants to stand out in her family. The series begins with Jasmine Toguchi, Mochi Queen, where she insists on taking part in the traditionally male task of pounding mochi for New Year’s. Each book brings a new challenge, from learning drums to exploring the outdoors, all grounded in Jasmine’s family life and cultural traditions.
Debbi Michiko Florence drew on her own childhood experiences to create the series. The books have been recognized for their authentic representation of a Japanese American family and for the way they handle universal kid concerns like fitting in, trying new things, and sibling rivalry.
