A Bowl Full of Peace

Sachiko’s family home was about half a mile from where the atomic bomb fell on August 9, 1945. Her family experienced devastating loss. When they returned to the rubble where their home once stood, her father miraculously found their serving bowl fully intact. This delicate, green, leaf-shaped bowl-which once held their daily meals-now holds memories of the past and serves as a vessel of hope, peace, and new traditions for Sachiko and the surviving members of her family. A powerful picture book about finding hope and peace after the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary in August 2020.
