Best Multicultural Title - Cuffies Award, Publisher's Weekly Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (Ccbc) Editor's Choice, San Francisco Chronicle Not Just for Children Anymore Selection, Children's Book Council Twenty-five years ago, Baseball Saved Us changed the picture-book landscape with its honest story of a Japanese American boy in an internment camp during World War Ii. This anniversary edition will introduce new readers to this modern-day classic. One day my dad looked out at the endless desert and decided then and there to build a baseball field. ""Shorty"" and his family, along with thousands of other Japanese Americans, have been forced to relocate from their homes to a ""camp"" after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Fighting the heat, dust, and freezing cold nights of the desert, Shorty and the others at the camp need something to look forward to, even if only for nine innings. So they build a playing field, and in this unlikely place, a baseball league is formed. Surrounded by barbed-wire fences and guards in towers, Shorty soon finds that he is playing not only to win, but to gain dignity and self-respect as well. Inspired by actual events, this moving story of hope and courage in a Japanese American internment camp during World War Ii reveals a long-hidden and ugly part of the American past.
