A Bowl Full of Peace: A True Story by Caren Stelson

5.0

‘A Bowl Full of Peace’ is a heartbreaking, beautiful story about the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan in 1945. The prose and illustrations are gorgeous in a delicate way. The story details the life of a family in Japan during World War II and the aftermath of the atomic bomb that killed so many. It is ultimately a hopeful story about family and traditions. It is a magnificent book that would be perfect to teach children about the realities of war and the importance of family.
