Illustrated by
Felicia Hoshino.
In this WWII Japanese American internment story, Mari and her family are living at Topaz Relocation Center. Art classes, friendship, and sunflowers help Mari feel as if she can rise above a bleak situation and look to the future. Like the text, which is presented bilingually, the illustrations contrast the dreariness of the desert and barracks with Mari's blossoming hope.
