Informative, but lacking the emotional impact I was hoping for. I didn't feel invested and it moved a bit slowly for me. I also didn't find the artwork strong enough.

This is such a moving book and I couldn't put it down. I wish it was just a book about something in our history, but sadly it isn't. Too many Americans don't know about the internment of Japanese-Americans, and as a country we haven't learned anything. We're repeating so much of history in a way that I find so disgusting and disheartening. It's easy to feel hopeless. That's why I was surprised to find so much hope in this book, from both George and his father. Their belief in and discussions about the power of democracy are inspiring and filled me with hope. You need to read this.
