AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Lee's big sister Zora is the boss. She takes Lee to the library for an embroidery lesson, and, he struggles - pricking his fingers with the needle and having trouble making his stitches straight. He doesn't even want to show his work to his parents, but that night, when he can't sleep, Lee gives it another try. 

I was excited to see a story about a boy learning to sew, and, yes, that sort of happened. His sister wasn't all that bossy, I read it again wondering if I missed something. There's instructions for making your own embroidered moon. Lee and Zora are black.
