With the family fed up, Joey heads to his favorite Mexican restaurant, where the table napkins give him an idea. After a Japanese student’s mother introduces origami to Joey’s class, he dives headlong into practicing, using whatever he can get his hands on-homework, his sister’s sheet music, and money from his mother’s purse. When readers first see him, he’s staring dreamily at a neatly folded taco he also loves maps and the accordion, and he even sleeps in a folding bed (one that doesn’t like to stay unfolded, not that Joey appears to mind). The hero of Kleber’s debut, a brown-skinned boy named Joey, is obsessed with all things folded. From collecting snow globes to inventing palindromes, unusual passions and interests abound among humans young and old.
