Here is a synopsis of Suki’s Kimono

Suki is a young Japanese-Canadian girl who loves learning about her heritage from her grandmother. Her grandmother gave her a kimono and her first time wearing it was to a summer street festival where they ate traditional food, listened to music and performed a graceful circle dance with other dancers. When school starts in the fall, Suki insists on wearing her favourite thing the first day, her kimono and Japanese wooden clogs called geta, despite her sisters who say she will look weird, insist she needs something cool to wear and walk ahead of her all the way to school. The other children make fun of her too, calling her clothes funny and saying her beautiful, full sleeves make her look like a bat! When the first-grade teacher asks the children to introduce themselves and explain what they did that summer, not only does Suki tell the other kids about her kimono, geta and the festival, she even shows them the dance. The kids start out teasing her but as they watch her dance, they become quiet and even clap after she is done.
Since I noticed on a couple of blogs last time that our previous inspiration challenge was a bit too challenging (Mickey and Minnie), I thought I might give a few ideas this time. 1. Watercolour (like the illustrations) 2. Anything Asian, especially Japanese 3. Use the colours from her kimono, her grandmother’s kimono or any of the illustrations as inspiration 4. The relationship between an older person and a child 5. Any card that shows one element standing out as different from the rest of the card. I’ve seen cards with several circle punchies, all the same with a single bright-coloured/patterned one; all circles/squares with one flower or butterfly; all uncoloured flowers with a single one coloured in, etc. 6. Dancing 7. Colour a girl stamp to look like Suki 8. Paper piece a kimono on a girl stamp. I hope that helps.
