My Lost Freedom by George Takei

5.0

Beautifully written, beautifully illustrated story of George Takei's imprisonment as a child in prison camps during the Japanese Internment in WWII. It is a bit long for a class read aloud in a single sitting, but it is an engaging book for introducing this time period to young children. Could be paired with footage of Takei in Star Trek and footage from Tule Lake and other internment camps.

Highly recommended for elementary and middle school libraries.
