Taka, a new boy in Jeremy's class, has just moved to the neighborhood from Japan. At first Jeremy is not successful in befriending Taka, but Jeremy's mother encourages him to keep trying.

As the friendship develops Taka demonstrates the art of paper folding, and Jeremy learns how to write a haiku, a Japanese poem. Instructions for two simple crafts are included at the end of the book. Softcover, 56 pages from BJU Press.
