The festival of traditional Japanese arts is coming up, and little Natsumi's big personality is too much for her family's quieter traditions, until her grandfather introduces her to taiko drumming.
Atta girl! And yay for Grandpa! This almost makes me wish I were a louder and more exuberant person.

I originally selected this book for an upcoming, diversity-themed storytime. However, as I picked it up to read, I realized the author was white. There's nothing wrong with this, but I feel like it waters down the diversity aspect. It's a good read and children will enjoy it.
