    FROM SARAH:

    Gyo Fujikawa's art paved the way for publishing, and continues to inspire today. This is a riveting, exquisite picture book biography with something for the whole family.

    FROM THE PUBLISHER:

    Growing up in California, Gyo Fujikawa always knew that she wanted to be an artist. She was raised among strong women, including her mother and teachers, who encouraged her to fight for what she believed in. During World War II, Gyo’s family was forced to abandon everything and was taken to an internment camp in Arkansas.
