A heartfelt story about finding your voice far from home.
When 9-year-old Hana Mitchell moves from Portland to Tokyo, everything feels unfamiliar — the language, the food, even the way kids line up at school. Half-Japanese and half-American, Hana feels stuck in between, unsure of where she truly belongs.
To make sense of it all, Hana writes secret entries in her diary — doodles, funny moments, and fears she doesn’t say out loud. Through her words, she captures her struggles with culture shock, learning Japanese, and making her first real friend.
As seasons change, so does Hana. Her once-private pages become a quiet record of bravery, friendship, and learning to love both sides of who she is.
A charming coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a girl finding home one diary page at a time.
