Maggie’s Chopsticks by Alan Woo –ADVISABLE



Woo, Alan and Illustrated by Malenfant, Isabelle Maggie’s Chopsticks 32 pgs. Kids Can Press, Ltd, 2012. $13.22 (Rating: G)
Maggie is trying to learn everyone else’s techniques for holding chopsticks. But it’s just not working out, and she realizes that her own way might not be perfect, but it’s just right for her.
This is a cute culturally relevant story with a wonderful message. There are lots of sounds, creative descriptions, movements, foods, and colors. A rich cultural backdrop for learning a subtly presented life lesson. Great book!
