Seeking a new life in nineteenth-century California with his samurai father, a young Japanese finds it difficult to adjust to the idea of being a farmer and not a samurai. Author is from Alameda, California. ¶ "Yoshiko Uchida (1921-1992) was a Japanese-American writer known for her children's books and autobiographical narratives that explore the Japanese-American experience, particularly during World War II. Born in California to Japanese immigrant parents, Uchida and her family were among the thousands of Japanese-Americans who were interned during the war. This experience had a profound impact on Uchida and became a central theme in much of her writing. Uchida's books, such as "Journey to Topaz" and "Desert Exile," provide a poignant and personal perspective on the internment experience. Her children's books often feature Japanese-American protagonists and explore themes of cultural identity, displacement, and resilience. Throughout her career, Uchida received numerous awards for her writing, and she is recognized as a pioneering figure in Asian-American literature. Her work continues to be read and studied for its insightful portrayal of the Japanese-American experience."—BookBotX ¶  Fiction. Juvenile works. Fiction. Romans.
