The only one I recall was \"The Five Chinese Brothers,\" but even then, I was embarrassed by their depiction because they were so yellow, slanty-eyed, and strange. If only I had a book like \"Kai and The Magic Jacket\" in my childhood. I think I would have read it every day. This delightful story has a bright, young character at its center who loves his family and gains self-confidence and maturity as he comes of age. Kai is a great role model for Asian readers, but the beauty of this book is that the lessons he learns are applicable to all children; the positive message is universal. This book deserves a place on the bookshelf of any child growing up and experiencing peer pressure. Bravo to author Tricia Chinn Campbell for telling Kai's story with such humor and compassion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jonathan Fong, Host of \u003ci\u003eDisney Family's 'He Made She Made'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"While instructive, the book is not didactic.
