Hello Maggie!

Written by Shigeru Yabu. Illustrated by Willie Ito.

When over 120,000 Japanese Americans were sent to ten different camps during World War II, what happened to people’s pets? The majority of people had to give their animals away. There were very few pets in camp because no one knew how long they were to stay in camp. Hello Maggie! is a true story about a scavenger magpie bird and a boy who missed his pets.
