From beloved Japanese author‑illustrator Kaya Doi, this ninth volume in the Chirri & Chirra series is set amid the cherry blossoms of Japan, offering readers a gentle celebration of spring.

Chirri and Chirra ride their trusty bicycles to a giant cherry tree, where they sample cherry‑blossom sweets before venturing inside. There they discover a sakura‑themed beauty parlor, complete with chiffon scarves and sweet perfume. 

Their journey continues to a viewing deck, where they sip cherry‑blossom tea and experience the most magical moment of all: petals shaken loose by the wind, drifting down in a soft, pink shower.

Filled with delicious food, animal friends, and the beauty of nature, Chirri & Chirra, Among the Cherry Blossoms captures the quiet wonder of the season. A translator’s note about sakura trees is included.

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Kaya Doi graduated with a degree in design from Tokyo Zokei University. She got her start in picture books by attending the Atosaki Juku workshop, held at a Tokyo bookshop specializing in children’s books. Since then, she has created many picture books featuring her delicate color-pencil drawings. She lives in Chiba Prefecture and maintains a strong interest in environmental and animal welfare issues. David Boyd is assistant professor of Japanese at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His translations have appeared in Monkey Business International, Granta, and Words Without Borders, among other publications.
