But when Mrs. Jenkins asks Yoko to show everyone, Olive and Sylvia make fun of her Japanese writing. "Yoko can't write. She's only scribbling!" The teasing continues as Yoko shares her favorite book at show and tell, and reads it back to front. <P>That evening, Yoko declares that she can't go back to school. "How can I when my reading and writing are a failure?" 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. <P>Not only does Yoko learn to read and write in English and graduate Kindergarten with her classmates, but everyone's name appears in two languages on their diploma--even Olive's and Sylvia's! 3324054 29 7 2008 Yoko Writes Her Name total:30|5:0|4:2|3:1|2:0|1:0| 30 114 42 8 4 1 false false Wed Oct 21 15:04:03 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 15:04:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 19:12:52 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 12:36:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 13:35:58 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 13:43:25 -0700 2009
