Cherry Blossom Book

This special bundle contains all of Jennifer Maruno's Cherry Blossom novels about the internment of Japanese-Canadians, viewed through the eyes of nine-year-old Michiko Minagawa. Includes: - When the Cherry Blossoms Fell - Nine-year-old Michiko bids her father goodbye. She doesn't know the government has ordered all Japanese-born men out of the province. Ten days later, her family joins hundreds of Japanese-Canadians on a train to the interior of B. C. She must face local prejudice, the worst winter in forty years, and her first Christmas without her father. - Cherry Blossom Winter - After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, ten-year-old Michiko's family's possessions are confiscated and they are sent to a small community. After a former Asahi baseball star becomes her new teacher, life gets better. Baseball fever hits town, and when Michiko challenges the adults to a game with her class, the whole town turns out. - Cherry Blossom Baseball - After her family is forced to move by Canada's racist wartime policies, Michiko is the only Japanese kid at school. One nice thing is that she's a hit at the local baseball tryouts. There's just one problem: everyone thinks she's a boy. What is she to do when they find her out - do as she's told and quit, or pitch like never before?
