As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

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.
