Book Description
Yoko is so excited for the first day of school. She’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. “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. 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. 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!

Book Description
The discovered diary of Yoko, a 13-year-old Japanese girl who lived near Hiroshima during the war Ages: 8-12 the diary of Yoko, a 13-year-old Japanese girl who lived near Hiroshima during the war 1945 was a hard time to be a child in Japan. Many had seen their cities destroyed by US bombers. Food, fuel and materials were in short supply. Yet spirits remained high. In April 1945, Yoko Moriwaki started high school in Hiroshima, excited to be a prestigious 'Kenjo' girl, and full of duty towards her parents, school and country. But the country was falling apart and in four months time her city would become the target for the first atomic bomb ever used as a weapon. In her diary, Yoko provides an account of that time - when conditions were so poor that children as young as twelve were required to work in industry; when fierce battles raged in the Pacific and children like Yoko believed victory was near. With additions by Yoko's relatives and fellow students, and an introduction by award-winning author Paul Ham, Yoko's Diary not only shows us the hopes, beliefs and daily life of a young girl in wartime Japan, it is a touching account of the consequences of the first nuclear bombing of a city.

Book Description
The "Thousand Crane Club," like the older Paper Crane Club, began through the efforts of young people. Prompted by the extensive foreign media coverage of the 40th anniversary, students at the Hiroshima International School began to ask themselves, "What can we do so no other kids have to go through what Sadako went through?"The answer was simple: "Maybe we could start a club. Why not contact children around the world and tell them about Sadako? We could ask them to fold paper cranes and send then to the Children's Peace Monument. Maybe this could be the start of an activity that would help to keep Hiroshima and peace in the minds of children all the time, not just on special anniversaries such as the 40th anniversary."Since its inception two years ago, the Thousand Crane Club has received nearly 100 boxes of strands of cranes from schools in Australia, Japan, Guatemala and the United States. Inquiries, requests for the club's booklet and letters of support have come from schools in lands the world over.
