The Perfect Sushi cover

Miko likes things to be perfect. When she makes lopsided sushi for her grandmother’s birthday, she replaces it with perfectly formed sushi created by a restaurant robot. Upon delivering her gift, Miko discovers that kokoro (heart) – not impeccability – is the key ingredient to the perfect present. Sprinkled with engaging onomatopoeia, this unique title is infused with Japanese culture and delivers a universal message about the value of intention. A do-it-yourself sushi recipe is included.

“A sweet story that reminds readers to always put their hearts into whatever they do” – Kirkus Reviews
“A Japanese child’s desire to get things just right for her grandmother’s birthday becomes a lesson in what truly matters in Seo’s quietly heartfelt story” – Publishers Weekly
“The message of family and food and the importance of doing something from the heart is loud and clear, and the illustrations are so lovely” – School Library Journal
