New Picture Book Chronicles Min Tonai's WWII Incarceration Camp Experience
A new picture book titled 'Unbreakable: A Japanese American Family in an American Incarceration Camp' by Minoru Tonai and Jolene Gutiérrez, illustrated by Chris Sasaki, is set to be published by Abrams Books on April 7. The book explores the experiences of Min Tonai, a young boy who was forcibly relocated to the Amache incarceration camp during World War II. This narrative is presented through a child's perspective, highlighting the harsh realities of life in the camps while conveying themes of resilience, love, and hope. The book also includes reference materials and discussion questions to facilitate conversations about civil liberties and injustices. Tonai, who passed away in 2023, dedicated his life to ensuring that the injustices faced by Japanese Americans during the war were not forgotten.
