A Bowl Full of Peace: A True Story
LERNER PUBLISHING GROUP (CAROLRHODA)
In this deeply moving nonfiction picture book, award-winning author Caren Stelson brings
Sachiko Yasui’s story of surviving the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and her message of
peace to a young audience. Sachiko’s family home was about half a mile from where the
atomic bomb fell on August 9, 1945. Her family experienced devastating loss. When they
returned to the rubble where their home once stood, her father miraculously found their
serving bowl fully intact. This delicate, green, leaf-shaped bowl-which once held their
daily meals-now holds memories of the past and serves as a vessel of hope, peace, and
new traditions for Sachiko and the surviving members of her family.
