I’m so excited to share that my new picture book from Random House Children's Books, MY LOST FREEDOM is officially here!
It’s a true story about growing up in Japanese American incarceration camps during World War II. I looked back at my own memories to help children today understand what it feels like to be treated as an enemy by your own country. This is a story of my family’s courage and the importance of staying true to yourself in the face of injustice.

I understand random cat photos and random cat boxes. Plenty of those in my home. I can’t say I’ve heard about rando house kids. Usually kids are specific, not random.

Vividly recall how, back when Trump-style bullying and punch-them-in-the-face demeanor was en vogue, George went on cable news to propose an alternative approach and world view, one based on human decency and empathy with the vulnerable, informed by own experience. Left me deeply touched.
@georgetakei This is awesome. It's very brave of you to tell your tale in hopes that future generations will not have to endure the horror that you and your family did.
