Perfect
Waka T. Brown
Mika treasures a blue-and-white pottery teacup from Japan that her Obaachan gave her. When Mika accidentally breaks it, she is devastated. Her grandmother has the cup repaired using kintsugi, a process that joins broken pieces with gold, leaving golden lines across its surface. Mika initially sees the repaired cup as no longer perfect, but with Obaachan’s help she comes to understand that an accident does not make something useless or unworthy of love. The story centers on a Japanese American child and her grandmother.
