Illustrated by
Ju Hong Chen.
Straightforward (if wordy) text describes the dogged efforts of Eliza Scidmore to have the famous Washington, D.C., cherry trees--symbol of Japanese-U.S. friendship--brought to this country in 1912. Scidmore was ahead of her time as a writer, traveler, photographer, and National Geographic Society member, and readers may be inspired by her work. Impressionistic paintings (some blurry) accompany the narrative. No sources are provided. Timeline.
