Desert diary : Japanese American kids behind barbed wire Cover Image Book

Desert diary : Japanese American kids behind barbed wire / Michael O. Tunnell.

Tunnell, Michael O., (author.).

Summary:

"In March 1943, twenty-seven children began third grade in a strange new environment: the Topaz Relocation Center in Utah. Together with their teacher, Miss Yamauchi, these uprooted young Americans began keeping a classroom diary, with a different child illustrating each day's entry. Their full-color diary entries paint a vivid picture of daily life in an internment camp: schoolwork, sports, pets, holidays, health--and the mixed feelings of citizens who were loyal but distrusted"-- Provided by publisher.
