Yoko Writes Her Name (A Yoko Book)

Yoko is so excited for the first day of school. Sheâ€™s just learned to write her name. But when Mrs. Jenkins asks Yoko to show everyone, Olive and Sylvia make fun of her Japanese writing. â€œYoko canâ€™t write. Sheâ€™s only scribbling!â€ The teasing continues as Yoko shares her favorite book at show and tell, and reads it back to front.

That evening, Yoko declares that she canâ€™t go back to school. â€œHow can I when my reading and writing are a failure?â€ she asks. Luckily a little wisdom from her Mama, a little cooperation from Mrs. Jenkins, and a lot of enthusiasm from her classmates teach Yoko the most important lesson of the year: that friendship can bridge cultural differences.

Not only does Yoko learn to read and write in English and graduate Kindergarten with her classmates, but everyoneâ€™s name appears in two languages on their diplomaÂ—even Oliveâ€™s and Sylviaâ€™s!
