A wonderfully wrote graphic novel about a girl in the 2020’s America that travels (displaced) to 1940’s Japanese Interment Camps alongside a young version of her grandmother. She lives life in the camps and experiences what life was like for Japanese American’s during World War II.
This graphic novel are beautifully illustrated. And it draws parallels between the paranoia and xenophobic sentiments of the 1940’s to modern day in the 2020’s. And offers hope that we can prevent history from repeating itself, if we are brave enough to take a stand, and research all parts of our history (the good, the bad, and the ugly).
