 Grade 1-4–During World War II the author's parents were sent to an internment camp in Idaho. That family history led to this poignant story about a young Japanese-American boy in an internment camp and the baseball diamond that gave the internees a purpose in life and a way of passing the time. The young boy's triumph in a game played while in captivity helps him when he returns home and continues his baseball career. The baseball heading over the fence on the last page tugs at the heart of readers as it symbolizes freedom lost, and regained. Author Ken Mochizuki reads his award-winning book (Lee & Low, 1993). There is some soft background music, and a few gentle sound effects, but the power of the words need little embellishment. Young students will be made aware of the overt racism Japanese-Americans faced during this period of history. This treasure of a book is well-treated in this format. PrêmiosNotable Lists

2.This book goes through a first hand experience of what it was like to live interment camp. They would play baseball all the time. Then he went back to where he lived before the interment camp. Then he plays really well but gets called mean things when he is up to bat or playing baseball in general.
3.I would recommend this book to middle level elementary classrooms. I think that it is quite heavy for a young elementary student but very informational for a middle level student in terms of culture.
