In this lovely picture book, a young girl named Maggie gets her own pair of chopsticks. Now everyone insists on telling her how to use them. Her grandmother says. Do it like me!? while she rapidly works her old wooden sticks with a click-clack-clicketing. Her sister instructs. Be graceful like this! as she crosses her pair back and forth, like legs, dancing. But it's no use. No matter how hard Maggie practices to be like the others, they keep telling her she's doing it wrong! Frustrated, Maggie asks her cat, the Kitchen God and her ancestors what she should do. Finally, her father gently tells Maggie just what she needs to hear. ?Everyone is different. Everyone is unique, he tells her. You hold your chopsticks perfectly.
