Chirri & Chirra, Among the Cherry Blossoms - Hardcover
by Kaya Doi (Author), David Boyd (Translator)
From beloved Japanese author-illustrator Kaya Doi, this ninth volume in the Chirri & Chirra series is set amid the cherry blossoms of Japan, offering readers a gentle celebration of spring.
Chirri and Chirra ride their trusty bicycles to a giant cherry tree, where they sample cherry-blossom sweets before venturing inside. There they discover a sakura-themed beauty parlor, complete with chiffon scarves and sweet perfume.
Their journey continues to a viewing deck, where they sip cherry-blossom tea and experience the most magical moment of all: petals shaken loose by the wind, drifting down in a soft, pink shower.
Filled with delicious food, animal friends, and the beauty of nature, Chirri & Chirra, Among the Cherry Blossoms captures the quiet wonder of the season. A translator's note about sakura trees is included.
