[ISLMA-Share] Suggestions for Mexican/White biracial children's books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

*Sylvia and Aki *by Winifred Conkling.  This novel presents a fictionalized
account of injustices endured by two real California children during World
War II and is based on multiple interviews with both and other historical
records. In alternating chapters Conkling follows the forced relocation of
young Aki Munemitsu and her family to a camp in Arizona and the experiences
of Sylvia Mendez, who moves into Aki’s old room when her father rents the
Munemitsus’ asparagus farm. (From Booklist)
