World War II was a time of huge biases against American citizens who were connected to countries we were at war with. This story is a touching story about a young little girl who with her family is forced to live away from her home and be in a form of prison because Japan went to war and bombed Hawaii. Woven into the story is the loss of a dog and a girl who goes mute from the pain of it all. I wonder after listening to current events if history repeats itself now. I think this book would be a welcome addition to any children's library and perhaps a good gift for any government employee who makes choices involving the locking up of families.
