A family pays respects to the grave of their relative who died at Manzanar relocation camp. Black & white illustrations contrast with colorful ones representing flashback & present time (1973). Lends itself well to a lesson on flashback & symbolism. Will use in my classroom.

A educational picture book about the Japanese camps during WWII in the US. It has beautiful artwork, and would be a good way to teach children about a not so pleasant time in history.

Such a sad, sweet story. The internment of Japanese Americans during WWII is shocking to many of us today and must be remembered. Bunting has created a gentle, but realistic story of a family's experience of the internment. Be ready to discuss this one with your child/student afterwards. Recommend for grade 3 and up.
