The Jasmine Toguchi series does it again! Our family has become so fascinated and intrigued by Japanese culture because of this series. We have learned so much and been inspired in many ways by Jasmine and her family. In Flamingo Keeper we learned about daruma dolls and talked about making wishes/setting goals. We were allowed to dream along with Jasmine and feel excitement and disappointment with her.
Debbi is a phenomenal writer and we can't wait for the next book in the series. With each new book we revisit what we have already learned about Japanese culture and add to our collection!

Jasmine Toguchi Flamingo Keeper Debbi Michiko Florence Elizabet Vukovic 9780374304201 Books Reviews

I adore Jasmine. She's spunky, determined, kind, and persistent. When she has a goal, she will not give up on herself, no matter how unlikely it may be!
A wonderful family dynamic, and I love the immersion of Japanese culture in every book. I'm a huge fan and highly recommend this book to any readers in elementary school (adults too!).
This is the first Jasmine Toguchi book I've read and it won't be the last. This author writes with a spot-on middle grade voice and I enjoyed getting to know Jasmine. The characters are well-rounded and come to life and the action and dialogue move the story forward always. The friendship and family relationships are heart-warming and one of my favorite parts of this book.

I connected on a personal note to this book as I have wished on Daruma dolls myself and currently have one with only one eye, so I'm working on that. I enjoy learning Japanese as my best friend is from Japan and helps me learn about the culture and language, so I will be seeking out this author's books.
This just might be my favorite Jasmine story. Starting with the title, Flamingo Keeper, I was intrigued how exactly, Jasmine, the go-getter girl I've come to enjoy reading about was going to pull this one off. Jasmine loves flamingos so very much, but she realizes she doesn't know as much about them as she should. She decides to become an expert in order to prove she can handle having her favorite bird as a pet, and she is further encouraged that this will become a reality when her grandmother sends her a daruma doll from Japan which makes wishes come true. What follows are life lessons for Jasmine showing your love sometimes means making sacrifices, and wishes only come true if you work hard for them. Readers with big dreams and wishes of their own will find comfort in Jasmine's journey and ability to be flexible in how they are accomplished.
Jasmine and Sophie get daruma dolls from their grandmother. Their parents tell them to make a wish, fill in one eye and then wait for the wish to come true to fill in the other eye. Sophie refuses to share her wish, but Jasmine decides to wish for a pet flamingo. Encouraged by her best friend getting a puppy, Jasmine starts planning for her pet flamingo. At school she does research for an oral report on flamingos, and she's getting really excited for her wish to come true. But what neither sister realizes, is that you are expected to work towards daruma wishes. Are their wishes doomed?

Jasmine feels so realistic in this one. I think every child at some point had dreams of having an animal as a pet that would in reality make a terrible pet. Getting her to the point of realizing this, though, is an uphill climb. After all, she's been dreaming of this for forever. The solution was creative, and I'm not going to say anything more than that. You get a nice little peek into another part of Japanese culture with the daruma dolls, and there's an author's note with a little more information about them. I like that they are more than just a wishing talisman type thing, they seem to be more a way to create a visual reminder of your goals (at least the way they are portrayed in this book). This entire series should appeal to kids who like realistic stories and those who want to learn more about Japanese culture.
Jasmine Toguchi is the Pringles of early chapter books betcha can't read just one.
My daughter has read this about 8 times already. Good 2nd/3rd grade book.
I have now read all 4 Jasmine Toguchi books to my 8 year old daughter and this is easily her favorite series. My daughter loves Jasmine and her relationships with her family and friends and she also likes learning a little bit about Japanese culture. We made a bet last night that Jasmine and her family get to go to Japan in the next book.
The Jasmine Toguchi series does it again! Our family has become so fascinated and intrigued by Japanese culture because of this series. We have learned so much and been inspired in many ways by Jasmine and her family. In Flamingo Keeper we learned about daruma dolls and talked about making wishes/setting goals.
