Maggie's Chopsticks

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Isabelle Malenfant. As Maggie grapples awkwardly with her chopsticks, her family members urge her to copy their techniques. Sister, for example, holds hers gracefully: "Crossing her chopsticks back and forth, / Back and forth, / Like legs, / Dancing." Woo's lyrical writing celebrates both tradition and individuality, and Malenfant's illustrations, in deep red and gold hues, make good use of perspective.
