Jasmine Toguchi, Brave Explorer

The fifth installment in this award-winning chapter book series for fans of Alvin Ho and Ivy & Bean follows Jasmine and her family on their journey to Tokyo!

Toothbrush? Check. Her special journal? Check! Jasmine Toguchi can hardly wait for her family vacation to Japan, and by the time their plane finally touches down, she's ready to dive into their new adventure. There are so many things to see in Tokyo, like Ramen Street, which she learns is not a whole street made of ramen, and Tokyo Tower, where you can even spot Mount Fuji on a good day.

But when they arrive, Jasmine finds herself unable to get away from her older sister Sophie's crabby attitude. Plus there's so much about Japan she didn't know, and she seems to be getting in trouble right and left. Will Jasmine be able to cheer up her sister AND find her footing in a new country?

With humor and warmth, Debbi Michiko Florence tells a relatable story of new experiences, family drama, and kindness at every corner. Paired with Elizabet Vukovic's playful illustrations, readers can't help but root for Jasmine as you explore Japan alongside her.
