Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochizuki

Mochizuki, K., & Lee, D. (2004). Baseball saved us. Pine Plains, N.Y.: Lee & Low Books Inc.

Have you ever felt left out or different?  I bet you have at one point.

This book Baseball Saved Us is about a little boy that feels left out because he was different.  During World War II his family and other Japanese families were sent to a camp in the middle of a desert. They had to stay behind wire fences and couldn't get out until the war ended. 

This is a great story about a boy that goes through things that many kids your age never go through.  If you would like to see what happens to him when he goes back home you should check this book out at the library.
