But when he folded up all thirty-eight dollars in his mom’s purse, she put her foot down. When he ran out of notebook paper and construction paper, he used his homework…the newspaper…his sister’s sheet music…gift wrap… even “Aunt Vivian’s pineapple surprise” recipe card. Joey raced home that afternoon and began folding. Takimoto answered that while she could teach him the right folds, it would take practice and patience to become an origami master.

Sarah Takimoto’s mother came to his class, and-right before the students’ eyes-folded, flipped, and pulled a plain white piece of paper “until it became…a crane.” One day Joey witnessed the most amazing thing at school.

Joey was a little boy with a particular fascination.

Read More-igami by Dori Kelber and illustrated by G. We could sit with legs straight out to look like an “L.” We could do a downward dog twist to look like the letter “A.” I then talked about folding paper to look like other objects we see. I talked about how we can fold our bodies to look like things. One kid said you could fold a pizza, but he didn’t like to eat his like that. They gave me examples like folding paper, folding clothes, and folding sheets.
