Synopsis

Illus. in full color. 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.

From the Back Cover:

Terry can tie up his shoes – Ling Sung can’t. Manjit can write her name but Ling Sung’s letters go all wrong and Sharon can button up her coat perfectly. Ling Sung doesn’t want to go back to school every again. But the next day at biscuit time Ling Sung does something amazing...

He uses two paintbrushes as chopsticks to pick up the biscuits. This is something that no-one else can do, not even the teachers, and Ling Sung feels very special indeed!
