The text of this picture book is barely adequate to carry the illustrations; but what illustrations they are! Dom Lee's "scratched beeswax and oil paint" pictures recreate the somber but not hopeless tone of the Japanese-American internment camps of World War II. This little book can help us and our children's children not forget. Text by Ken Mochizuki. Quality = 3; Acceptability = 5. Talking points: race relations; baseball.
