A Bowl Full of Peace: A True Story by Caren Stelson
5.0
Absolutely heartwrenching tale about the bombing of Nagasaki and the impact it can have on the family. As well as the impact it has on a family's thankfulness and family heirlooms.
The author is not Japanese and she acknowledged that she was inspired to write this story based on hearing the subject speak. She put in many trips to Japan as she did research. The illustrator is Japanese and their note is written in both English AND in the original Japanese. So these efforts are ones that I appreciated.
