NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A CALIBA GOLDEN POPPY AWARD WINNER

In My Lost Freedom, George Takei looks back at his own memories to help children today understand what it feels like to be treated as an enemy by your own country. Featuring powerful, meticulously researched watercolor paintings, this is a story of a family’s courage, a young boy’s resilience, and the importance of staying true to yourself in the face of injustice.

“A candid yet tender glimpse at a bleak chapter in U.S. history.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This worthwhile picture book introduces an important topic in American history.” —Booklist

“Takei’s narration is contemplative but conversational, inviting the reader to see his experience both through the eyes of his child self and the somber reflections of an adult….relatable but terribly bittersweet.” —The Bulletin
