With evocative black-and-white illustrations by SCBWI Golden Kite Award winner Kenard Pak"--, Provided by publisherLois Lowry looks back at history through a personal lens as she draws from her own memories as a child in Hawaii and Japan, as well as from historical research, in this stunning work in verse for young readers.
