Title: Dash
Author: Kirby Larson
Pages: 243
Finished: March 7, 2018
First Sentence: Mitsi Kashino packed her sketch pad, her binder, and her worry in her book bag.
Summary: Shortly after Pearl Harbor, Mitsi, her family, and her fellow Japanese Americans are rounded up and moved to interment camps. Her dog, Dash, unfortunately cannot come with her, and Mitsi must navigate the camps and her emotions without his help.
Thoughts: Book itself is great for reminding American kids that America is not always infallible. Brings awareness to the fact that just because bad people do bad things doesn't mean that everyone of that nationality (or religion) is a bad person.
