Sent Away

Tana Reiff, 1993.

This is a very small book from a Supplementary Education Group in some kind of series called Hope and Dreams 2. It would be interesting to know the exact purpose of the book because it would serve as an incredibly excellent way of talking about the internment times with a group of children.

The book is written about one family, starting before Pearl Harbor and on through that, the evacuation, the relocation and the closing of the camps. It has a lot of information in it and each section of the book includes several questions that could be used as discussion points. I could see this easily being used for maybe a junior high or even slightly earlier group of children to explore what happened and discuss various quite excellent questions about the events.
