2023., Adolescent, Abrams ComicArts Call No: GN HISTORICAL TUI Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Marco Calvo always knew his grandfather, affectionately called Papoo, was a good man. He was named after him, after all. A first-generation Jewish immigrant, Papoo was hard-working, smart, and caring. When Papoo peacefully passes away, he expected the funeral to be simple. However, he is 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, Don't Let Us Down explores a unique situation of Japanese and Jewish Americans living side by side in a country at war. Following Marco's grandfather's perspective, we learn of his life as a Sephardic Jewish immigrant living in America and his struggles as he settles into an America gearing up its war efforts. Despite the war raging just outside America's borders, Papoo befriends Sam Akiyama, a Japanese man who finds his world upended from President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066. Determined to keep Sam's business afloat while he and his family are unjustly incarcerated, Papoo creates a plan that not only changes the lives of the Akiyamas, but of the entire Nihonmachi community. An evocative and beautifully illustrated historical fiction graphic novel revealing the truth of one man's extraordinary efforts, Don't Let Us Down converges two perspectives into a single portrait of a community's struggle with race, responsibility, and what it truly means to be an American"--Provided by publisher.
