Yep, Laurence. (1995). Hiroshima. Scholastic. New York, N.Y.
Dedicated to the memory of Yoshiko Uchida, this heartwrenching story is one that will put chills up and down your spine. It tells the story of the children that witnessed this horrific event in history. A child, Sachi, who is terribly burnt loses not only her sister but also her father. The sufferings that these poor people had to endure is like a horrid nightmare. This is a wonderful book and well worth the time to read.
