‘Chopsticks’ is a cute book written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Scott Magoon. Chopsticks are about a pair of chopsticks that go everywhere with each other. Once one of the chopsticks got hurt he told his other half to go adventure and not stay with him. When the other chopstick went out he noticed that he could do stuff without the other chopstick. In the end, the other chopstick got better and they both realized that there are some things that you can do on your own. I would say this book is for k-Gr 4 because it is a bit on the younger side of elementary.  The lesson in this book is that sometimes you need to do things on your own and don’t always have to have a friend.
