The Perfect Sushi

¿A Japanese child¿s desire to get things just right for her grandmother¿s birthday becomes a lesson in what truly matters in Seo¿s quietly heartfelt story¿ ¿ Publishers Weekly Miko likes things to be perfect. When she makes lopsided sushi for her grandmother¿s birthday, she replaces it with perfectly formed sushi created by a restaurant robot. Upon delivering her gift, Miko discovers that kokoro (heart) ¿ not impeccability ¿ is the key ingredient to the perfect present. Sprinkled with engaging onomatopoeia, this unique title is infused with Japanese culture and delivers a universal message about the value of intention. A do-it-yourself sushi recipe is included.
