Barbed Wire Baseball PB

Barbed Wire Baseball tells the inspiring true story of Japanese American baseball legend Kenichi “Zeni” Zenimura, who built a baseball field from nothing in the middle of an internment camp during World War II. Written by Marissa Moss and beautifully illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, this moving children’s picture book highlights resilience, hope, and the power of community during one of the darkest chapters in American history. A powerful addition to any young reader’s collection, Barbed Wire Baseball introduces an important perspective on wartime injustice—and the healing game of baseball.
