Stealing Home
This is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about a young Canadian boy who was sent to an internment camp during WWII, and how baseball united and keep the hope for many in the camps.
The graphics were beautiful and the story was sad and informative. I didn’t know that Canadians also had internment camps. The ending however felt a little sudden, I thought there was going to be more. The end notes, however, provided a lot of additional information, but I wish more was included throughout the story.
I still think this is a great classroom resource for talking about the Japanese Internment camps, especially for getting all kids engaged in the topic.
