In "Yoko's Paper Cranes" by Rosemary Wells, young Yoko faces the challenge of cultural differences when she brings her beloved origami paper cranes to school for show-and-tell. While she takes pride in her Japanese heritage, her classmates initially don't understand her creations and mock them. Undeterred, Yoko shares the story behind her paper cranes, highlighting themes of friendship, understanding, and cultural appreciation. As her peers learn about the beauty and significance of her craft, they come to respect and celebrate Yoko's unique identity, showcasing how kindness and open-mindedness can bridge cultural divides.
