A girl and her grandmother spend the day making mochi together in this gentle and joyous "storytelling treat" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) celebrating family, tradition, and the memories that matter most.
Emi and Obaachan are making mochi. It's a recipe that's been passed down for generations. Obaachan brought it with her when she first came to America from Japan and now, Emi is about to become her family's newest mochi maker!
They mix and pound and twist and wrap. The Japanese rice cakes are sticky and chewy, colorful and tasty, and-most importantly-made with love. For Emi and Obaachan, making mochi becomes a way to remember those they've lost, make lots of new memories, and have a fun and family-filled day.
