"My Hiroshima" is an honest and heart-breaking book, as we follow young Junk Morimoto as she grows up in Hiroshima during World War II. The reader is able to experience what Hiroshima was like before the war and the atomic bomb- a beautiful town that "is surrounded by green mountains and looks towards the sea. Through it flow seven beautiful rivers." I love Morimoto's first person narrative, as though she is directly telling me the story and relating all her joys and fears from that time. The illustrations do well to convey the emotion and setting of the story, from a peaceful and playful childhood to the unsettling changes that came as she grew older and the war influenced the the city. After the bomb hits, we see just how terrifying and bleak her city and world becomes. The full spread illustration of the bomb going of off and the hands reaching out in dark tones is particularly impacting, as it signals the drastic and devastating change in Hiroshima on that fateful day. The last sentence of the story are haunting as well, and telling of the change time has brought once again to the city and the change that has taken in place in Morimoto all these years later: "All I see now is clean white ground and peaceful images of young students, who are just like I was so long ago." This story allows its readers to emotional connect with the text. Students can experience the atomic bomb and its effects on a society. It grabs the readers attention by simply being written by a survivor of the atomic bomb. The story is written simply and easy to understand. The illustrations are very detailed and purposeful in the story. The story also include real photographs of Hiroshima and the author. I would read this story with upper elementary grades because it aligns with their standards taught in 4th and 5th grade. Students can experience different view points from WWll using this book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I want to use this book to point out that demonizing a whole culture or country is not very prudent. There are many individuals that suffer because of war, and it is not just the bad guys, on the contrary, the lives of the innocent are almost always caught in the cross fire.
This is a good book for offering another voice, and for preventing, or at least derailing the single story. This book inspires compassion, and real insights into the tragedy and loss that results from war. ( )
