KlappentextCaptures the resilience of human dignity and optimism. . . . A powerful must-read. - BooklistDuring World War II, Tama is sent to live in an incarceration camp in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast - elderly people, children, babies - now live in camps like Minidoka. To be who she is has become a crime, and Tama doesn´t know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the incarceration camp´s tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with colour and light, love and fairness. And she isn´t the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Yas Imamura´s beautifully illustrated, elegant love story features a photo of the real Tama and George - the author´s grandparents - and an unflinching and necessary afterword that helps readers to learn more about a time in history that continues to resonate.
