N2  - Based on the experiences of the author’s mother and grandmother at the Topaz camp in Utah, this gentle book emphasizes the human dignity of the prisoners there and offers hope that we will “work toward a world that will never repeat—to any group of people—what happened to Japanese Americans during World War II.” (Miller Library Staff); While she and her family are interned at Topaz Relocation Center during World War II, Mari gradually adjusts as she enrolls in an art class, makes a friend, plants sunflowers and waits for them to grow
