COMMUNITY REVIEWS
mentoring matters submitted by unknown on January 3, 2008, 10:18am Miss Clara Breed was the first children's librarian in the San Diego library system. There is a photo of her as a young women, the children must have just loved her. She had a special interest in the Japanese-American children. She was appalled by the evacuation and relocation. It is clear from the letters from the camps and interviews with the children as adults, that the attention received from Miss Breed was of huge importance in their lives. This book is considered a "teen" book. But I think that it is of interest to adults. There is much of historic interest. It demonstrates the value of the relationship between an interested adult and children at risk.
