Bookroo's summary

Joey's fascination with folding things takes a turn when he discovers origami. His attempts to master the art lead to trouble, folding everything in sight, including his mom's money. With practice banned at home, Joey must find a new place to pursue his passion. Can he find a way to hone his skills and perhaps make a new friend along the way? Discover how Joey navigates his creative journey on his diverse city block, where unexpected encouragement might just be around the corner.

From the publisher

A creative young boy with a passion for practicing origami finds a surprising source of encouragement on his diverse city block. Joey loves things that fold: maps, beds, accordions, you name it. When a visiting mother of a classmate turns a plain piece of paper into a beautiful origami crane, his eyes pop. Maybe he can learn origami, too. It’s going to take practice – on his homework, the newspaper, the thirty-eight dollars in his mother’s purse . . . Enough! No more folding! But how can Joey become an origami master if he’s not allowed to practice? Is there anywhere that he can hone the skill that makes him happy – and maybe even make a new friend while he’s at it?
