Fish for Jimmy | Katie Yamasaki

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

For two boys in a Japanese American family, everything changed when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States went to war. With the family forced to leave their home and go to an internment camp, Jimmy loses his appetite. Older brother Taro takes matters into his own hands and, night after night, sneaks out of the camp and catches fresh fish for Jimmy to help make him strong again. This affecting tale of courage and love is an adaptation of the author's true family story, and includes a letter to readers with more information about the historical background and inspiration.

#JulyJourneys Day 13: Taro and Jimmy are Japanese American brothers who lived near the ocean. Their father, similar to most Asian Americans who migrate to the United States from #Japan, opened a vegetable market, and they lived a relatively quiet life – until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.
