Jasmine Toguchi, Book #3 A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2018 - A CYBILS Easy Reader and Early Chapter Book Award Winner - A Junior Library Guild Selection - A CCBC Best Book of the Year - A Maryland Blue Crab Young Reader Award for Transitional Fiction It's talent show time at school, and eight-year-old Jasmine Toguchi is excited to show her stuff. But as she thinks about her strengths - tree-climbing, mochi making, collage - none of them feel quite right to perform on-stage. Jasmine's friends already have a talent: Tommy yo-yo's, Daisy dances, and Linnie plays piano. Plus, Maggie Milsap (aka Miss Perfect) is saying she'll have the best talent. When Jasmine's mom introduces her to the taiko, a traditional Japanese drum, Jasmine finally finds an activity that feels just right. But will she be good enough at taiko in time to beat Maggie Milsap? Join Jasmine as she discovers her talent - and the difference between being the best and trying your best.
