Welcome to Litsy!

I couldn‘t have read this book at a scarier time. The author creates an all too familiar story of hate and violence in the United States when a fascist is in power. Echoes of the past, and current times. Who will speak up when nationalists and fascists take control? We are days away from an extremely consequential election in America. Days away from deciding if we will continue to be a ‘democracy‘. Fascism is here. Choose wisely. We do not⬇️

A based-on-true-events picture book about the author's grandparents meeting at an interment camp. A sweet story set in an awful location, the author focuses on hope, language, and love, leaving the horrors as vague concepts.

#SchoolSpirit #Library a challenged book about two young people who meet and fall in love in a Japanese internment camp. It‘s a wonderful book .

Another 5 star read by Susan Meissner! I had never heard of the internment camps or repatriation in America during the war. I've read several WW2 books (maybe 12 or more?) and each one teaches me something new!🥰

This is a worthy topic, but unfortunately a poor execution. The stories are piecemeal and disjointed. There is far too much telling and not enough showing - the graphic format was badly underutilised. The excessively small print in portions provided further friction to the reading process.

Read They Called Us Enemy (Takei) instead.
