Laura Iwasaki’s family is making a solemn visit to Manzanar, the place where her grandfather is buried and where thousands of Japanese Americans were imprisoned during World War II. For Laura, it is partly a family trip and partly a journey into history. As her father remembers being taken there as a child, Laura begins to understand that this quiet place carries pain, courage, and memory. Her family’s visit becomes a way to honor Grandfather and recognize a painful chapter in American history. So Far from the Sea is a deeply moving picture book about Japanese American incarceration, family remembrance, patriotism, and the importance of telling hard truths to the next generation.
