Wow! Just wow.
This book is beautifully written, moving and touching. It tells the story of a survivor of the bombing of Hiroshima and an action that haunted him for the rest of his life. Reflecting upon both historical events and tge emotions raised by it and its aftermath. Charting the immediate impact on those in the location and the aid those affected received.
The story is supported with thoughtful illustrations, which add to the impact of the story.
Once you start, you are drawn into the story with a desire to find out where the journey will go. The story is genuinely moving and brought a tear to my eye.
In the back there is a guide to how to make paper cranes - a beautiful touch.
I would like to read the authors other stories after reading this.
