J. P. Takahashi and HifuMiyo deliver the moving story about a young Japanese girl who has eagerly awaited her mixed-family reunion at the cherry blossom festival, but when nerves strike on the day, a cousin helps her learn more about their family tree and together they watch new bonds blossom. Spring has finally come. Sai has been waiting all year for the tree's green buds to turn pink. For the cherry blossoms to finally burst open. For her big family reunion at the sakura festival. Relatives from far and wide are gathering at last, but there are some family members she recognizes only from video screens and phone calls. Among the crowd, Sai seems to shrink down . . . Until she meets her cousin Avi. It's an instant click. And together, they dream up a special way to dive deep into their family history--and honor the blooming of new connections. J.P. Takahashi was born in New York City and raised by a family of readers in the United States and Japan. She loves a good adventure in real life and in her imagination--especially when it's as scary as it is magical.
