In Displacement, Kiku, a girl of half-Japanese ancestry, is on a trip with her mother to San Francisco, grasping for small details about the life of her grandmother, Ernestina, who was one of about 120,000 people sent to incarceration camps during World War II. Displacement is based on the family history of author/illustrator Kiku Hughes, and Kiku herself is the protagonist of the story. Blessed in which she rounds up books with wonderful covers (and indeed, this book's cover is just one of countless gorgeous illustrations throughout the pages). I discovered this book on a post by fellow #IMWAYRer Sierra Dertinger at Books.
