This is a children's book about the internment of Japanese and Japanese Americans during WWII. It consists of text and artwork.
It starts out with the main character being Emi. The story says that she and her family are being sent to a “prison camp.” Her father, a Japanese businessman, was being sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
Emi and the others are sent to the Tanforan racetrack assembly camp. At the camp they are housed in used horse stalls.
The story then tells a little about how they fixed up the stall so they could live there.
This is a rather short book for rather young readers.
