Description
Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochizuki is a powerful and moving story about hope and courage in the face of adversity. In 1942, Shorty and his family are forced to leave their home after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and are relocated to an internment camp in the desert. To find solace in this difficult situation, they build a baseball field and form a league, where Shorty finds that playing the game gives him dignity and self-respect. As Shorty navigates his new life in the camp, he learns valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and the importance of finding joy in the midst of hardship. This story, inspired by real events, sheds light on a long-hidden part of American history and is a testament to the strength and resilience of those who were affected. This 25th Anniversary Edition features a revised cover and a new introduction from the author and illustrator, offering readers a fresh perspective on this important and thought-provoking story.
