Soentpiet's detailed, evocative paintings make the story of this family's visit to Manzanar, and of the memories stirred by the experience, one that will linger in readers' minds and hearts.

This is a wonderful book about the trials and tribulations that were lived by Japanese Americans in "camps" during WWII. Japanese Americans were forced to relocate to these camps. It is a dark time in American history that is rarely (if ever) written about in history text books in schools.

So Far from the Sea is Amazing!
This book is a classic by Eve Bunting! It tells a part of history that is usually not told. It is about the Japanese Internment Camps in California during World War II. The pictures are beautiful and i is very well written. I would recommend it to anyone!
