New Years is coming up and all 8-year-old Jasmine Toguchi wants is to participate in her family's yearly mochi making tradition. Unfortunately, she's too young. Fortunately, she has a plan. Jasmine now has only a few days to prove that she's responsible enough, strong enough, and determined enough to achieve her dream of becoming a mochi queen.
