Stealing Home: A Graphic Novel
How do you talk to your child about injustice, internment camps, and the ripple effects of war—without overwhelming him? Stealing Home offers a thoughtful place to begin.
This carefully researched graphic novel tells the true-to-history story of a Japanese Canadian family during World War II, seen through the eyes of a young boy who loves baseball. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, his family is forced to leave their home simply because of their ethnicity.
Told with honesty and care, Stealing Home introduces the racism, fear, and displacement Japanese Canadians endured—while staying age-appropriate for younger readers. The sepia-toned illustrations are rich with emotion, drawing children into the story without sensationalizing its hardships.
This is more than a history lesson. It's a compassionate resource for sparking conversations about discrimination, empathy, and resilience. It encourages young readers to ask questions, make connections, and think deeply about kindness in the face of fear.
An afterword and additional resources are included to help families explore the topic further.
Stealing Home helps children understand the past—so they can build a more compassionate future.
