Yoko Writes Her Name

(3) PS Kindergartner Yoko (Yoko; Yoko's Paper Cranes) has learned to write her name and some numbers--in Japanese, not English. Teacher Mrs. Jenkins warmly congratulates her, but classmates Olive and Sylvia tease her, telling her she'll never graduate from kindergarten. Wells's familiar animal characters cheerfully illustrate this gentle story of how a small act of kindness can turn things around.
