Summary: One highlight of DC's Cherry Blossom Festival is a kite fighting contest on the Mall. Natalie Dias Lorenzi's novel "Flying the Dragon" takes us there. A pair of young readers discuss the story of a Japanese-American kid embarrassed by her Japanese grandfather. The show was taped at Hooray for Books! in Alexandria, Virginia. California Congressman Mark Takano - a former English teacher - reads from the book. The kids get to ask the writer about writing. With host Kitty Felde.
