Jasmine Toguchi, Drummer Girl
Debbi Michiko Florence, illustrated by Elizabet Vuković
When Jasmine learns that her school will hold a talent show, she struggles to choose from her many abilities. Hearing classmates’ plans and a new student’s repeated boasts about violin makes Jasmine doubt whether she can do anything impressive. With her mother’s help, she chooses taiko, a traditional Japanese drum. Jasmine worries when skill does not arrive quickly, but takes lessons from her mother’s college friend and practices a simple routine for the performance. The story follows her uncertainty and preparation for the show.
