Caldecott Medalist, Allen Say, presents a companion to his award-winning Drawing From Memory.

For Allen Say, life as teen in Southern California was a cold existence. His father, one of the leading hamburger salesmen in Japan, ran a booming burger business, much like McDonald''s, and sent Allen to an American military academy, so that his son could learn English and "become a success in life."

As the school''s first and only Japanese student, he experienced immediate racism among his fellow cadets and his teachers. The other kids'' parents complained about Allen''s presence at the all-white school. As a result, he was relegated to a tool shed behind the mess hall. Determined to free himself from this oppression, Allen saved enough money to buy a 1946 Ford for $50 - then escaped to find the America of his dreams!

In this follow-up to Drawing From Memory, Allen continues to reinvent himself as an author and illustrator. Melding his paintings with cartoon images and archival photos, Allen Say delivers an accessible book that will appeal to any reader in search of himself.
