What an absolutely incredible book.
This follows a group of protagonists who are second generation a-bombers from Hiroshima, Japan and they're working on an art project with school called Hiroshima Then and Now and they learn about people in their life and how each of them were impacted by the event.
As the summary suggests, this is not a light book, but it's really important and I think everyone should read it. It has so many incredible messages in it and some that are still very relevant to today given current events around the world.
Definitely one everyone should read at some point or another.
