(2) YA Illustrated by Harmony Becker. The actor/author/activist crafts his childhood memoir about his years spent in America's Japanese internment camps of World War II. Through all the unjust, degrading treatment they suffer, young George and his family maintain their resiliency, dignity, and humanity. Takei seamlessly blends his naive, limited childhood perspective with the wisdom and reflection of adulthood. Becker's emotive black-and-white panel illustrations are effective in their subtle nuances.
