Henry and his best friend Thelma Fung live in Chinatown, New York and help a kind old man make kites. However, Tony Guglioni and his gang of friends of Little Italy, who don't like Chinese people, keep destroying their kites with rocks. Finally, Henry has had enough. He gathers his friends and meets Tony's gang head-on. But there may be more than one reason they are throwing rocks...

With a realistic, non-violent ending and gorgeous paintings, this book is a amazing, unique read. Review by Sarah

The illustrations in this book are beautiful--sweeping, lush paintings that are contemporary and classic at the same time. A nice break from all the "cartoony" books for children out there. A nice message, too.

I just read this book to my 4 year old and oh my goodness! What a tremendously beautiful book in every way! The illustrations were gorgeous and the story itself was unbelievably touching. What an incredible lesson in "not everything is as it seems," as well as acceptance, friendship, and respect for all things. I have only ever reviewed one more book but I was so touched by this I had to share my opinion with others. A MUST HAVE!!

This is a really good children's book. The story is interesting and enlightening and the illustrations are beautiful. Both parents and children will enjoy this book.

This was a wonderful book. My son really enjoyed it. Would recommend highly!
