Little Yoshi carefully observes the care his neighbor provides to a tiny tree, and understands that it is similar to what he receives from his own mother. When the bonsai finally blooms, Yoshi fears that he too will grow flowers on his head, so he will make an important decision.

A tender story about the cycle of life, change, and the fear of growing up.

Spanish Description: El pequeño Yoshi observa con atención los cuidados que su vecino proporciona a un diminuto árbol, y comprende que son similares a los que él recibe de su propia madre. Cuando el bonsái al fin florece, Yoshi teme que a él también le crezcan flores en la cabeza, por lo que tomará una importante decisión. Una tierna historia acerca del ciclo de la vida, los cambios y el miedo a crecer.
