Hello Maggie! A book written by former Heart Mountain incarceree Shigeru Yabu, which recounts his story of being forcibly removed from his family’s home in San Francisco and sent to Heart Mountain, Wyoming, in 1942. While in camp, Shig found a baby magpie and kept it as a pet during the war. The bird provided comfort to Shig, his family, and friends as they endured three years at Heart Mountain.
Legendary cartoonist and animator Willie Ito, also from San Francisco and incarcerated at the Topaz camp in Utah, was a boyhood friend of Shigs and the perfect choice to illustrate the book.
After the war, Willie went on to an illustrious career as an animator and cartoonist for companies such as Disney, where he was one of the lead artists for the 1955 classic Lady and the Tramp, Warner Brothers, and Hanna-Barbera.
