(2) K-3 Visiting the site of the Manzanar War Relocation Camp with her family in 1972, young Laura's anger about her father and grandparents' internment experience is juxtaposed with her father's desire to forget the past and move on. Portraying a rarely seen point of view, the book provides room for discussion of changing historiographical and cultural expectations. Realistic watercolors present flashback scenes in black and white.
