This book should still be published today. Maybe be giving new illustrations as modern libraries would not a low a naked woman‘s nipple to be on the cover of a book in the children‘s department. This is the true story of a little girl and her mother on the day of and days after the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima. This story is bold, this story is powerful.

#ReadingResolutions Day 5: The #Sins of war are captured so effectively in this viscerally affecting and visually disturbing picturebook. This is the story of 7yo Mii who lived in Hiroshima with her parents. That day when the bomb landed, she and her parents were sharing a breakfast of sweet potatoes brought by cousins who lived in the country. It was a blue and cloudless morning.
