A touching story about Japanese American children who corresponded with their beloved librarian while they were imprisoned in World War II internment camps.

Before they are moved, Breed asks the children to write her letters and gives them books to take with them.

Using excerpts from children's letters held at the Japanese American National Museum, author Cynthia Grady presents a difficult subject with honesty and hope.
