Yoko by Rosemary Wells. 1998. Hardcover. (Ch-PIC)

The charming story from a beloved and bestselling creator, about a cat who is teased for the food she brings for school lunch, encourages acceptance and embracing of differences.

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?
