Synopsis
In New York City in the 1920s, the children from Chinatown go after the children from Little Italy for throwing rocks at the beautiful kites Grandfather Chin makes, not realizing that they have a reason for doing so.
In this story set in 1920s-era New York City, a Chinese-American boy named Henry loves to spend his days flying kites in a nearby park. However, that park is also the hangout of a group of Italian-American kids, a tough boy named Tony among them, who seem to like nothing better than throwing rocks at the kites Henry and his friends fly. Although Henry's grandfather tells him to ignore Tony and his pals, Henry is unable to do so, and decides to confront Tony face to face. What Henry learns from Tony changes the perspectives of both boys and paves the way for a peaceful resolution to their conflict. Color illustrations accompany the text.

Industry reviews
"The varying perspectives from street level to rooftop, from distance to close-up, all create a vividly imagined scene. An excellent resource for teaching diversity--and a little urban history as well."
Kirkus  (05/15/2004)

"Adults promoting cultural diversity or anti-bullying causes will find an articulate, engaging voice here; kids will simply grab hold of a darn good story."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush

About B-Logistics

B-Logistics began selling online in 2001 in partnership with several major public library systems that needed help managing large volumes of discarded materials. We chose the seller name Universal Athenaeum (depository of books and other materials for learning) to reflect that partnership, and we’re still proud to offer our services to hundreds of public, academic, school and special libraries all over the US and Canada (as well as a few publishers, retailers and wholesalers). By providing turnkey resale and recycling services of discarded books and media, we help libraries manage a difficult logistical challenge, generate positive PR, and earn funds for resources and programming.

Quality Standards

The books, CDs and DVDs we list for sale come from many sources, including public, academic and school libraries. We evaluate each item we list, and we strive to sell only items that are in GOOD or better condition, items that we would be happy to receive ourselves. You will notice in many cases that the library’s original ownership markings and other stamps, stickers and such are still in place. If you receive an item that is not in the stated condition, please notify us within 14 days of receiving the shipment so we can work out an acceptable resolution.

Great Service to Our Customers

We work hard to earn your confidence, and we want you to be 100% satisfied. When you order from B-Logistics, you’ll get your order fast. Most orders leave our warehouse the same day, and all orders leave our warehouse within two business days.

Great Service to Our Community

We provide turnkey service to our library and other liquidation partners so they have more time to provide much-needed resources to their patrons. We donate tens of thousands of books each year to non-profit literacy partners who bring books to needy recipients worldwide. In addition, we recycle hundreds of tons of unsalable books each year, providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to dumping books in landfills.
