Eliza's Cherry Trees: Japan's Gift to America

32 pp. | Pelican | January, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58980-954-3 $16.99
(4) K-3 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.
