Paper Wishes by Lois Sepahban


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.
