With delicate Japanese-style watercolors, photographs, and a spare text written from a child's perspective, it tells the horrifying story of an ordinary little girl whose family suffered through and miraculously survived the first atomic attack. . . . Her message of peace is . . . powerful and clear".--Entertainment Weekly. Publishers Weekly Critic's Choice, 1990. Full-color illustrations.
