pickA gem in verse about the 3 year relocation of Aleuts during WWII. They were all but abandoned by their own government in the foreign rainforest outside Ketchikan, AK; German prisoner of war camps in the US were better supplied and serviced. Those Aleuts that survived the camp returned to villages pillaged & destroyed by both bombs and occupying US forces. This is a shameful, little known part of American history.
[DELETED] 3803335244 There is so much that went on around the world during WWII so sad. A lot of the history books focus on one main topic, not hitting on everything else around the world. I‘m teaching my oldest kids about WWII, trying to teach a world wide view of events. So sad 😞 6y
Tamra @ForeverNerdy agreed! We get the big blurbs and that‘s about it. 6y
HKGirl Yes!! This book is so beautiful. But most people seem to have not heard of it, just of Out of the Dust. 6y

Tamra @HKGirl I have that one TBR too! Agreed, the writing & subject is poignant. I tabbed several of the verses as I read. 6y
Anna40 I love the print! Is that a postcard or the book cover? 6y
Tamra @Anna40 it‘s the cover. It‘s a gem inside & outside. 6y
Tamra @ForeverNerdy is this something you would like your kids to read? It‘s short & easy read, or do you have enough to cover? 6y
[DELETED] 3803335244 Oh sweet Tamra your so kind. I‘m going to try to find at this little library they have here. We have a lot to cover but I‘m adding this. Hopefully I make it too it. We only take 1 month off during the summer. So I might read it over that month to them. 6y
