Synopsis

Mayumie and her grandmother take a trip into Tokyo to see a surprise even more fun than the zoo and more beautiful than the shrine: cherry blossoms flowering in the heart of the city.

Jennifer Reed lived in Japan for three years and was inspired to write, The Falling Flowers after her first spring there.

She lives in Maryland with her husband and two children. Several cherry trees grow in her back yard.Dick Cole is an illustrator and watercolorist with over 30 years of experience.
