Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital ARC.
Lovely art. Simple monochromatic colors.
Japanese Internment Camps are an important story to tell, but for some reason I didn't feel any intensity or a lot of emotion for this story. Maybe the baseball theme made everything a bit more hopeful (the message I got in the edn was, everything will be okay because we still have baseball) or maybe after reading Maus everything else about World War II seems tame.
Either way, this is a nice story for younger readers to learn about what happened to Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians during WWII. But I would be sure to also read They Called Us Enemy.
