But the FBI won't release his father, and soon, Min and his family are forced into an incarceration camp in Colorado.\nImprisoned on the dusty plains and facing both the pain of displacement and the injustice of being incarcerated by his own country, Min must learn to adapt and to find beauty―and strength―where most wouldn’t.\nCowritten by Jolene Gutiérrez, author of Too Much! and Mamiachi \u0026amp; Me, and illustrated by acclaimed illustrator Chris Sasaki, this is an inspiring and powerful picture book.
