Written by: Caroline McAlister
Illustrated by: Jamie Green
A powerful story about an artist with resilience and perseverance. Displaced after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ruth found that lines were everywhere. Connections to her family in Japan, in school, waiting in lines for food in prison, twisted lines of barbed wire, zig zag lines as she tried to graduated, etc. She made art and believed, “Art is for everyone.”
