Reach for this book when your child expresses a desire to do something that is traditionally reserved for others, or when they are feeling discouraged by gender-based expectations. In 17th century Japan, a young girl dreams of becoming a sushi chef, a role historically held by men. The story explores her journey of persistence and creativity as she defies convention to pursue her passion. It serves as a beautiful introduction to the concept of breaking barriers while honoring one's heritage. The narrative connects personal ambition with the cultural folklore of the Maneki-neko (the beckoning cat), providing a rich historical and mythological backdrop. It is perfectly suited for children aged 5 to 9 who are developing their own identities and learning to stand up for their talents even when faced with a firm 'no.'
