Ling Sung dreads going to school. There are too many

things the other kids can do that he can't. When he discovers everyone admires

his ability to use chopsticks, Ling Sung is empowered. "Ashley's point, that

all children are good at something, is well made and should be reassuring to

young listeners. Brazell's colorful mixed-media illustrations reflect an urban

environment with a fully international cast of characters. A good choice for

children just starting school--appropriate for classroom story hours or for

parent/child sharing."--Booklist.
