Following on from the success of the first book in which he got his name, this book sees Forget-Me-Not trying to make friends. His mama points out that friendships are not always instant and sometimes they take time to blossom, just like the blossom on the trees. It takes a while but it's always worth the wait. So when Forget-Me-Not meets Cherry, he decides to wait and see what happens.
Blossoms of Friendship captures the timelessness of Vimala thakar's discourses and presents each one aas a savory treat. My favourite is chapter five, The Silence of Meditation, which clearly reminds us of the power,even the necessity, of spiritual practice in today's world.
I am Miss Kanagawa. In 1927, my 57 doll-sisters and I were sent from Japan to America as Ambassadors of Friendship. Our work wasn't all peach blossoms and tea cakes. My story will take you from New York to Oregon, during the Great Depression. Though few in this tale are as fascinating as I, their stories won't be an unpleasant diversion. You will make the acquaintance of Bunny, bent on revenge; Lois, with her head in the clouds; Willie Mae, who not only awakened my heart, but broke it; and Lucy, a friend so dear, not even war could part us. I have put this tale to paper because from those 58 Friendship Dolls only 45 remain. I know that someone who chooses this book is capable of solving the mystery of the missing sisters. Perhaps that someone is you.
