Each faced with a problem, Marvin Stone and Joseph B. Friedman made tweaks to the straw—one made it paper and one made it bend. But sometimes solving one problem, causes an even bigger one.

"A fascinating history of straws morphs into a call to action."
- The Horn Book, Starred Review ★ "An important topic gets a very appealing treatment." - Kirkus |
