(4) YA An old woman remembers her experiences--both horrific and hopeful--as a seven-year-old child who survived the bombing of Hiroshima. Hanako's first-person narrative is informative and engaging, but readers may think they're reading memoir, not fiction; included are color photos of art done by students at the actual school the fictional Hanako attends, including one by "Hanako" herself. Reading list, timeline. Glos.
