When George Takei was just four years old, his entire world was turned upside down. Even though his family was American in every way, the government decided that people of Japanese descent were enemies of the country. Without doing anything wrong, George and his family were forced to leave their home in California and move into crowded, guarded camps surrounded by barbed wire. Over the next three years, George had to live in horse stalls and swampy barracks. But through it all, his parents worked tirelessly to keep their family safe and hold onto their dignity. In this deeply moving true story, you will see history through the eyes of a young boy trying to understand a terrible injustice. Featuring beautiful paintings and powerful memories, this book shows you the incredible courage it takes to stay true to yourself, even when your own country turns against you.
