Why Chopsticks, Please?

When I was six, my family left Korea and moved to a suburb near Chicago. Sometimes, as a special treat, we had dinner at the only Chinese restaurant in town. There weren’t many other Asian families in the area, so the tables were set with knives and forks only. But I wanted to feel at home, so I asked for “Chopsticks, please” at every visit.

Today I’m raising an all-American son who feels at home wherever we go. I know he won't always feel that way. That’s why I created Chopsticks, Please. My greeting cards are a little piece of home to share with family and friends. Whether they're across the street or across the country, make your loved ones smile with the perfect card.

Thanks for visiting Chopsticks, Please!
