PRAISE FOR Sakura's Cherry Blossoms:

"[A] heartwarming story of the ephemeral, the eternal nature of love, friendship, cherry blossoms, and stars." --starred review, Booklist

"Weston combines a look at Japanese customs, a meditation on loss, and observations on adjusting to a new country in this wistful, low-key tale." --Publishers Weekly

"Weston addresses the difficulty of moving to a new country and the loss of a loved one with warmth and compassion." --Kirkus
