Another great story to pair with a history lesson on internment camps. It is told form the point of view of the librarian who is receiving and sending letters to her favorite group of students. It could be used to talk about trauma, historical hardship, and more from a young age. While I would say it is more appropriate for older children, it could be used with younger children too, especially since Arizona had internment camps during this time. A sensitive, unabashed portrait of a librarian (Clara Breed) who didn't let go of her students despite separation and supported them through the Japanese internment by writing to them, mailing books and other items, and visiting them. The student letters are forthright, sad and lonely, yet hopeful and even humorous: "Dear Miss Breed, If this weather keeps up the Japanese in Poston will be butter ... It is 120 in the shade. Postonly yours, Margaret Ishino." Includes an Author's Note, Notable Dates in Clara Breed's Life, Selected History of Japanese People in the United States, Source Notes, Selected Bibliography, Further Reading, and black and white photographs from the period. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"A touching story about Japanese American children who corresponded with their beloved librarian while they were imprisoned in World War II internment camps. When Executive Order 9066 is enacted after the attack at Pearl Harbor, children's librarian Clara Breed's young Japanese American patrons are to be sent to prison camp. Before they are moved, Breed asks the children to write her letters and gives them books to take with them. Through the three years of their internment, the children correspond with Miss Breed, sharing their stories, providing feedback on books, and creating a record of their experiences. Using excerpts from children's letters held at the Japanese American National Museum, author Cynthia Grady presents a difficult subject with honesty and hope. No library descriptions found. |

This book is about the Japanese American exodus that took place during World War 2. It discusses the letters of Japanese American children to their beloved librarian about their experiences and lives in internment camp.
This would be a good book to use as a read aloud when discussing World War 2 to bring in other perspectives of the war.
