I’m so excited to share that my new picture book from Random House Children's Books, MY LOST FREEDOM is officially here! It’s a true story about growing up in Japanese American incarceration camps during World War II. I looked back at my own memories to help children today understand what it feels like to be treated as an enemy by your own country. This is a story of my family’s courage and the importance of staying true to yourself in the face of injustice.

I think it was last week when George Takei announced to quit with social media but is still there! Does the Fediverse need a few more well known names to attract more users ?

One of the comments from another person in that thread :

Vividly recall how, back when Trump-style bullying and punch-them-in-the-face demeanor was en vogue, George went on cable news to propose an alternative approach and world view, one based on human decency and empathy with the vulnerable, informed by own experience. Left me deeply touched.

    I’m confident his announcement to “leave social media” was an April Fools’ joke.
