Description
A young Chinese American girl uses creative STEAM-powered problem-solving to master chopsticks so she can pick up her dumplings and eat them, too, in this charming and laugh-out-loud picture book perfect for fans of the Amy Wu series.
Jenny Chow struggles with chopsticks—aiya, those slippery, oh-so-tricky chopsticks! But cousin Victor’s birthday party is just around the corner, along with her family’s annual chopsticks challenge. Jenny doesn’t want to be the only Chow who never learns how to use the utensils. She’ll do whatever it takes to prove she can hold her own in her family’s long-held tradition—no matter how many experiments she wobbles and fumbles through.
About the Author
Iam a member of SCBWI and 12×12, a #PBParty Judge (and Ninja Rockstar!) since 2022, a 2023 and 2022 #PBRisingStars mentor, and the creator of #PBStudyBuddy, which features amazing picture book creators and mentor texts (plus occasional #Kidlit giveaways) on Twitter/X, Instagram, Bluesky, and Threads for fellow creators, teachers, and librarians. As a former science fair competitor, Juilliard Pre-College piano alumni, Townsend Harris High School alumni, statistics major at Columbia University, and avid researcher for both consumer and business market needs, my goal now is to craft picture books that spark kids’ interest in STEAM and creative thinking.
Born and raised in New York, I’ve also worked various jobs in Boston, San Francisco, Anchorage, New Delhi, Paris, and Tokyo, and now reside in the Seattle area with my husband and two sons. I often stay up late into the night puzzling away with wordplay and working on quirky ideas.
