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.

My Lost Freedom by George Takei
Camp Tule Lake is ultimately where George Takei and his family ended up. My father was a music teacher at Tule Lake during this time so I have a tiny personal connection to the book. This is a good picture book to have in the school library. It teaches about history from the perspective of a child who lived through it. I am grateful that we have a book that shows what life was like for a family in a very challenging situation. They may not have had control of situations but they knew how to make the best of a situation. A good read.
