A family chopsticks challenge inspires inventive problem-solving

Jenny Chow wants to master chopsticks before her cousin Victor’s birthday party and her family’s annual challenge. As she experiments with ways to pick up dumplings, the story brings hands-on STEAM problem-solving into a familiar family setting. Jenny’s goal is tied to a long-held tradition and to her wish not to be the only Chow who hasn’t learned the skill, giving the practical challenge a clear personal and cultural context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers who enjoy stories about trying different solutions to a practical challenge
  • Families interested in picture books featuring Chinese American characters and family traditions

Book overview

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.
