Inspired by a true story, this graphic novel follows a Jewish immigrant's efforts to help his Japanese neighbors while they're incarcerated during World War II. Winner, Best in Young Adult Non-Fiction from the Excellence in Graphic Literature Awards

"A powerful book about advocating for friends and neighbors during times of great division." --Kazu Kibuishi, #1 New York Times bestselling author-illustrator of the Amulet series

An evocative and beautiful graphic novel revealing the truth of one man's extraordinary efforts, We Are Not Strangers converges two perspectives into a single portrait of a community's struggle with race, responsibility, and what it truly means to be an American.

Marco Calvo always knew his grandfather, affectionately called Papoo, was a good man. After all, he was named for him. A first-generation Jewish immigrant, Papoo was hardworking, smart, and caring.

When Papoo peacefully passes away, Marco expects the funeral to be simple. But he' caught off guard by something unusual. Among his close family and friends are mourners he doesn't recognize--Japanese American families--and no one is quite sure who they are or why they are at the service. How did these strangers know his grandfather so well?

Set in the multicultural Central District of Seattle during World War II and inspired by author Josh Tuininga's family experiences, We Are Not Strangers explores a unique situation of Japanese and Jewish Americans living side by side in a country at war.

Following Papoo's perspective, we learn of his life as a Sephardic Jewish immigrant and his friendship with Sam Akiyama, a Japanese man whose life is upended by Executive Order 9066, which authorized the incarceration of nearly all Japanese Americans and residents of Japanese ancestry. Determined to keep Sam's business afloat while he and his family are unjustly imprisoned, he and Papoo create a plan that will change the Akiyama's lives forever.

"At its core, a relatable tale of friendship, shared experiences of discrimination, and the power of individuals to make a difference." -- The Beat

Introduction by award-winning author Ken Mochizuki

Afterword by Devin Naar, author of Jewish Salonica

Earth Animal Treats
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
This is a great product, I first learned about this product when I took my dog to a training sesion. The instructor was using them as a training tool and my dog really got attached to them as I kept using them at home. She has been hooked on them ever sence. We give them to her now when she has been a good dog around the house.

Long lasting dog chew!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
Mini Dachshund loves these! We tried many varieties of chews but most don’t last more than a min or two. So happy with these -finally a long lasting chew to give her when she needs something to occupy her in the evening. So far no stomach issues with these, and no obvious weird smell. Have not noticed any mess (as one person stated) they seem like a clean treat for our pup. Will buy again.

Best treat for puppy
My vet and puppy’s trainer recommend this treat for my puppy. Much better than rawhide bones for digestion. My puppy loves the flavored sticks. Peanut butter is her favorite. She gets very excited when I pull out treat. She takes stick and runs to her “place” to chew. Stops desire to chew on furniture, etc. I buy several packages at a time because she loves them and I love quiet down time.

Not long lasting but my dog loves them
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
My little dog loves them. But they are NOT long lasting and definitely require supervision. Would love to find a product that would last longer than ten minutes,
