  The Jade Emperor asked the Buddha to help subdue the monkey after he created havoc in Heaven. The Buddha created the Mountain of Five Elements to imprison the monkey. Five centuries later, Xuanzang, an eminent Buddhist monk, was entrusted by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to retrieve Buddhist sutras from the Western Continent. On his way west, Xuanzang rescued the monkey. Enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, the monkey converted to Buddhism and became Xuanzang's disciple to guard him all the way to the Western Continent. 
  To maintain control of the unruly monkey, Guanyin instructed Xuanzang to put a golden hoop on the monkey's head and recite the hoop-tightening spell to punish any disobedience. The spell caused the monkey to writhe in agony and promise to behave. Guanyin also subdued a white dragon and transformed him into a horse to carry Xuanzang on his journey.

  To fall in love is already a gift. But to fall in love in a place like Minidoka, a place built to make people feel like they weren’t human—that was miraculous. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tama is sent to live in a War Relocation Center in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast—elderly people, children, babies—now live in prison camps like Minidoka. To be who she is has become a crime, it seems, and Tama doesn’t know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the camp’s tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and fairness. And she isn’t the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s elegant and true love story about her grandparents for listeners of all ages sheds light on a shameful chapter of American history.
