Illustrated by Dom Lee

In 1942, while the U.S. was at war with Japan, the U.S. Army moved all people of Japanese descent away from the West Coast. They were sent to internment camps in the middle of deserts up until 1945. In 1988, the U.S. government admitted that what it did was wrong.

Inspired by actual events, this is a moving tale of life in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II. The story is told from the point of view of a child who, through baseball soon finds that he is playing not only to win, but to gain dignity and self-respect as well.
