About This Book
Eleven-year-old Dan documents his four-month exchange program in rural Japan through diary entries, watercolor illustrations, and cultural tidbits that make the experience feel immediate and real. Readers follow him as he learns to harvest rice, attends Japanese school, practices calligraphy, and navigates life with his homestay family. Rebecca Otowa balances personal reflection with informational details about traditions, food, and daily customs, creating a book that works both as adventure story and cultural introduction.
