I keep finding books about baseball in Japanese camps, so I have been learning a lot. The other book I read was [b:Baseball Saved Us|532469|Baseball Saved Us|Ken Mochizuki|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347268133l/532469._SX50_.jpg|520026] and did this as a school project that was going through museum collections and visual information. For this project I found baseball being played at the camps. So, when I noticed this book at the library I thought It was a must for my year.
I thought this was such a character driven story and I think it makes such an impact that it's by a child's perspective. This goes through the family being blamed, taken from their home, and having to build a new life in the camps.
The illustrations are great, it has extra information in the back of the book, and I think this is a great story to talk with historical events that happen with a juv. audience.
