(3) K-3 Little Kunoichi, her baby bro, and her bunny are getting bored during summer vacation until her parents decide that they need to visit Ba-chan, the kids' "scientist/inventor, recycling genius, cha-cha dancer, [and] artist" grandmother. From Ba-chan's island, they descend to "the Treasure Trove" to explore what's most important: "Curiosity, resourcefulness, kindness, love, [and] imagination!" The fantastical watercolor paintings are full of details about Japanese life.
