I like that this story shows both how emotionally hard it was to have your life taken from you, and how powerful creative outlets and friendship can be in moving forward.
A beautiful story based on the author's experience in a Japanese Internment camp when she was young. A young girl finds hope through an art class offered in the camp. I loved that the story was written in Japanese and English.

A Place Where Sunflowers Grow is a great book for students to read from the perspective of another student. The story describes the harsh realities of the Japanese Internment Camps and the struggles families underwent during their time there. The story also allows the reader to relate to the main character, Mari, who finds a way to still find joy in these unfamiliar and unfair conditions. The themes of hope and perseverance are present throughout this story.
