- Synopsis
- Everyone knows that kids from Chinatown don't go to the park when the kids from Little Italy are there. They're rough, they're big, and they don't like Chinese kids. That's okay--Henry doesn't like them, either. But what Henry does like is kites. He loves them. Even more, he loves to help his friend Grandfather Chin make them and send them soaring over Chinatown and the park. But when Tony Guglione and his friends from Little Italy keep throwing rocks and destroying their beautiful creations, Henry and his friends decide enough is enough! In this touching story based on true 1920s events, two rival groups of children representing two different cultures come face-to-face, and when they do, they find they share much more than just the same sky. A beautifully told and brilliantly illustrated celebration of diversity and acceptance.
