They are forced to swim to a small, unknown island, where they are rescued by a passing American ship. Japan's borders remain closed to all Western nations, so the crew sets off to America, where Manjiro learns everything he can about this new culture before attempting to return home where he is imprisoned as an outsider.

Pudding Town

"The inhabitants of Pudding Town lead a peaceful existence in their town
of love, caring, and respect. But when a boat of strangers from the
Island of Pie arrives on their shores, the Puddings are faced with the
challenge of reconciling two cultures that seem fundamentally opposed.

At first, things seem to go well, with the hospitable Puddings doing
everything they can to make the Pies comfortable. But as selfishness,
anger, and even hate start threatening the peace of Pudding Town, the
citizens are faced with a life-changing choice.

All seems lost in dissention, but one pair of Puddings and Pies just
might be able to unite the community for good. Join author Jean V.
Hanson for this story of learning, tolerance, and love, and discover the
incredible lesson found inside Pudding Town."
