Skim read this to see if suitable as a gift. Beautifully designed edition from the school library.
Verse for current day and prose for events surrounding the Hiroshima attack and aftermath. Shocking but somehow beautiful and very moving.

My favourite book I've read so far this year. So beautiful and made me cry.

This book is hauntingly beautiful. I read most of it in a day, despite it not being my usual type of book. I nearly cried at several points throughout, especially at the end of grandfathers story. This may be my favourite read of the year, and it’s only January!!
