Summary "“Umé San in Japan” by Etta Blaisdell McDonald and Julia Dalrymple is a children’s story written in the early 20th century." The narrative follows the life and adventures of a young Japanese girl named Umé San, particularly focusing on her experiences with family traditions, festivals, and her connection to Japanese culture and nature. The book aims to introduce young readers to the rich tapestry of Japanese life through the eyes of an endearing protagonist. "At the start of “Umé San in Japan,” we are introduced to the character of Umé, who is excited about her upcoming birthday, which coincides with the blossoming of the plum tree that has special familial significance." Despite her hopes for the blossoms to bloom in time for her birthday, they remain closed. However, upon waking, she discovers that a cherished plum branch has blossomed, bringing her joy and leading to the celebration of her birthday, where family traditions, responsibilities, and the playful spirit of childhood weave together. This opening chapter sets the tone for a charming exploration of Umé’s life, emphasizing themes of familial love, cultural rituals, and the joys of childhood.
