Sachiko: A Nagasaki Bomb Survivor's Story by Caren Stelson

5.0

On the National Book Award Longlist for Young People's Lit. and now a Sibert Honor Book, Sachiko: A Nagasaki Bomb Survivor's Story is an endearing, honest and brutal account of Sachiko, who at the age of 6 lived through the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Only .6 miles from the point of impact, Sachiko miraculously survived her siblings. After years of physical and emotional healing, Sachiko found her voice to tell her story to the world. What a strong spirit! Sachiko's heroes were/are Helen Keller, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr.--all of whom I have come to love myself. Highly recommended.
