The Bracelet by Joanna Yardley, Yoshiko Uchida
2.0

Age: 1st-3rd grade

Emi, a Japanese-American, is forced to abandon her home with her family during World War II. Her best friend Laurie gives Emi a bracelet to always remember her. Upon losing it, Emi realizes that her memories travel in her heart, not in objects.

Descriptive and sad, Uchida discusses the events more than the emotions of the characters.
