Sakura's dad gets a new job in America, so she and her parents make the move from their home in Japan. When she arrives in the States, most of all she misses her grandmother and the cherry blossom trees they used to picnic under. One day, she meets her neighbour, a boy named Luke, and begins to feel a little more settled. When spring comes, Luke takes her to see the cherry blossom trees flowering right there in her new neighbourhood.
