SILVER WINNER OF THE 2026 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS: Middle Grade Nonfiction
"A heartwarming must-read about the value of friendship and kindness prevailing over adversity."-Kirkus Reviews
"Moving historical tribute to the power of kindness in dark times."-BookLife Review
"Overall, this book is a strong pick for classrooms, school libraries, and families who enjoy narrative nonfiction with heart."-Reedsy Discovery

The nearly forgotten true story of the1947 Friendship Train, the 1949 Gratitude Train, and the ancient Hawaiian tradition that brought two nations together.

The Unforgettable Boxcar follows J-58220 on its journey from an average freight car in 19th-century France to its current home in Hawaii. Along the way it becomes a profound symbol for American veterans, a vehicle for war-torn France to shine, and a gift from a grateful nation for the stunning display of Hawaiian island pride and American support, celebrating the human spirit that endures even in our darkest moments.
