Seen and Unseen: What Dorothea Lange, Toyo Miyatake, and Ansel Adams’s Photographs Reveal About the Japanese American Incarceration, by Elizabeth Partridge, illustrated by Lauren Tamaki, is another terrific and beautifully designed book (this one for middle-grade readers) about the camps.

Thank you! I should have thought of that….

Beautiful idea but please consider buying it from an independent bookstore. Maggie used to work in one, we have all championed her work, and who knows- they might be interested in matching your donation!

I’ve recently been reading Julie Otsuka”s wonderful novels, “When the Emperor Was Divine” and “The Buddha in the Attic,” both of them heartbreaking, yet inspiring, stories of unjust imprisonment of American citizens in wartime.
(There’s a very long wait list at the library for her most recent book, “The Swimmers,” so I haven’t been able to get my hands on that one yet.)
There aren’t all that many books available about the camps, at least, that I’ve been able to find, other than the classic memoir, “Farewell to Manzanar,” and the one by George Takei about his childhood, the name of which escapes me. (Sorry for not doing my homework!)
Despite Scholastic’s snit, is it possible to buy a few copies of “Love in the Library” on Amazon? It would be my pleasure to donate them to our town public library. (I’m a retired library board trustee; they are generallyhappy to take my recommendations.)
