About this ebook
The third installment of this award-winning chapter book series for fans of Alvin Ho and Ivy & Bean follows Jasmine as she marches to the beat of her own drum!
It’s talent show time at school, and Jasmine Toguchi is excited to show her stuff. But as she thinks about her strengths—tree-climbing, mochi making, collaging—none of them feel quite right to perform on-stage. Jasmine’s friends already have a talent: Tommy yo-yo’s, Daisy dances, and Linnie plays piano. Plus, Maggie Milsap (aka Miss Perfect) is saying she'll have the best talent.
When Jasmine’s mom introduces her to the taiko, a traditional Japanese drum, Jasmine finally finds an activity that feels just right. But will she be good enough at taiko in time to beat Maggie Milsap?
With humor and warmth, Debbi Michiko Florence tells a relatable story of aspiration and trying your best. Paired with Elizabet Vukovic's playful illustrations, readers can't help but root for Jasmine.
Join Jasmine on her other adventures in:
Jasmine Toguchi, Mochi Queen
Jasmine Toguchi, Super Sleuth
Jasmine Toguchi, Flamingo Keeper
Jasmine Toguchi, Brave Explorer
Jasmine Toguchi, Peace-Maker
Jasmine Toguchi, Bridge-Builder
Jasmine Toguchi, Great Gardener
