Bookroo's summary
Miko strives for perfection in everything, from folding clothes to painting. For her grandmother's birthday, she makes sushi, but it's not perfect. Frustrated, she opts for robot-made sushi instead. However, Miko learns that the true essence of a gift lies in the heart, not flawlessness. Will she embrace this newfound wisdom? Discover a tale rich in Japanese culture and the power of intention, complete with a sushi recipe to try at home.
From the publisher
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.
