(2) K-3 It's 1941, and Taro and his younger brother, Jimmy, live in California with their Japanese-immigrant parents. Soon after Pearl Harbor, the family is bused to an internment camp where Jimmy stops eating, and Taro decides to take a dangerous risk to save his brother. Rich, expressive acrylic paintings lend dreamlike imagery to a piece of historical fiction about an all-too-real time.
