"We Belong Here tells a touching story of friendship between a Japanese boy and Jewish girl that takes place in Canada, soon after the end of World War II. While the setting is historical, the themes are perennial and, sadly, feel more timely than ever. This story takes place in the 1950s, a few years after the end of World War II. As we know, that war was fought on two fronts. One front was against the Nazis in Europe. The other against Japan after the Japanese government bombed Pearl Harbour in Hawaii in 1941. We Belong Here tells a story of allyship, ingenuity and loyalty in friendship. It brings through the best of community, and allows the children to take actions that make a difference."-- Provided by publisher.
