Description

Yoko is so excited for the first day of school. She’s just learned to jot down her name. But if Mrs. Jenkins asks Yoko to turn everyone, Olive and Sylvia make fun of her Japanese writing. “Yoko can not write. She’s only scribbling!” 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 can not go back to college. “How can I when my reading and writing are a failure?” she asks. Luckily somewhat wisdom from her Mama, somewhat cooperation from Mrs. Jenkins, and a large number of enthusiasm from her classmates teach Yoko crucial lesson of the year: that friendship can bridge cultural differences.

Not only does Yoko discover ways to read and write in English and graduate Kindergarten together with her classmates, but everyone’s name appears in two languages on their diploma–even Olive’s and Sylvia’s!
