Yoko | Rosemary Wells

Mmm, Yoko's mom has packed her favorite for lunch today-sushi! But her classmates don't think it looks quite so yummy. "Ick!" says one of the Franks. "It's seaweed!" They're not even impressed by her red bean ice cream dessert. Of course, Mrs. Jenkins has a plan that might solve Yoko's problem. But will it work with the other children in class? Now in paperback for the first time, this tender story from Rosemary Wells demonstrates the author's uncanny understanding of the pleasures and pains of an ordinary school day.

Yoko by Rosemary Wells is the perfect first-day-of-school RA F book to teach students about acceptance and diversity.
When Yoko's classmates make fun of her lunch, Mrs. Jenkins devises a plan to celebrate the various cultures in her classroom.

MadisonCarter The UDL strategy is 3.1 'activate or supply background knowledge' by discussing how our cultures and traditions make us special & unique. The EL strategy is 3 'encourage self-talk and positive thinking'
(If you have a cat, then you understand. The book was there first.)

Aimeejett I have never heard of this book!! I‘m so glad you did it because now I want to read it. It seems like such a great kids book. I like the UDL & EL strategy you have chosen also. I think they will be very helpful. 7y
AJones My boys and I have enjoyed Rosemary Wells‘ F books for many years. She is such a great writer, illustrator, and producer. Her Max and Ruby series was a big hit in our home. 🐰 Your UDL and EL strategies are perfect. Our young students need to learn about other cultures. 🌎 This is the only way we can learn. I added this book to my list and thanks for sharing. (edited) 7y

DrSpalding Your book boost I believe? I love the idea of sharing the video with parents at home. It is important to have a positive homeschool connection. 7y

This was one of my favorite books when I was little. I used to relate to Yoko. This fictional book is about a young kitten named Yoko and the struggles that she faces during lunchtime. Her classmates eat "regular" food while she eats her sushi. They make fun of her lunch and Yoko starts to feel sad. But in the end this raccoon named Timothy tries some of her sushi & they become friends! For more: http://www.rosemarywells.com #UCFLAE3414sp17

CaitlinPVeal The authors website is nice! This would be a good book to give your students an author study on. 8y
DrSpalding I agree @CaitlinPVeal A Rosemary Wells author study in K would be excellent! 8y

Other students tease Yoko because her lunch is different. She turns their negativity into something wonderful. 🍣 🐟 🍚 #marchintoreading #diversepicturebooks @RealLifeReading
