There can never be enough picture books about the Incarceration of Japanese Americans, and, honestly, there are far too few. But this one is exceptional. I'm not sure how many kids these days really know about Star Trek or know George Takei from his acting career, but I think it is wonderful that he is continuing to share his story as an American citizen incarcerated as a child because of his race -- and that many children will know him for those stories. Well illustrated, well-told -- this is a book that every child should know.
