More-igami - Dori Kleber

A creative young boy with a passion for practicing origami finds a surprising source of encouragement on his diverse city block.

Joey loves things that fold: maps, beds, accordions, you name it. When a visiting mother of a classmate turns a plain piece of paper into a beautiful origami crane, his eyes pop. Maybe he can learn origami, too. It’s going to take practice — on his homework, the newspaper, the thirty-eight dollars in his mother’s purse . . . Enough! No more folding! But how can Joey become an origami master if he’s not allowed to practice? Is there anywhere that he can hone the skill that makes him happy — and maybe even make a new friend while he’s at it?

• An inspiring parable of creativity and determination, but also a sweet story of friendship and belonging.
• A wonderful story about making art and what it takes to be a master (practice and patience).
• Boys and girls alike will love this sweet, well-written debut picture book text.
