This is an essential book. Japanese internment is relatively unknown to so many modern Americans, but George Takei’s powerful story reminds us that this horror took place not too long ago. The adorable art style stands it stark contradiction to the tragedy within the pages, serving to further cement this child’s view of the experience. I am not usually one to cry at books, but this really affected me. Incredibly powerful and moving.
