Product Information
Age: 8 to 12 This is a story about the art of caring. Its message will speak to the heart of any child who reads it and nourish his or her roots in the process - Ron Himler, illustrator of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Centuries ago, a Japanese white pine tree grew on the island of Miyajima in Japan. While the tree was still young, it was gently uprooted and taken to join the Yamaki family at their home in Hiroshima, where it was lovingly pruned and trimmed into a beautiful bonsai tree. Told from the perspective of the little tree, this astonishing true story is a tale of survival, hope, and friendship. Time passed happily for the little tree, until the morning of August 6, 1945, when an atomic bomb destroyed Hiroshima. Many people died, but the Yamaki family and Miyajima, along with all their other bonsai trees, survived the tragedy. Life went on for the little tree, until one day in 1976, a truck arrived to take Miyajima away. The little bonsai tree was on its way to the National Arboretum in Washington, DC, as a gift of friendship from Japan to America. Miyajima was so proud to be a part of this gift, but also very sad to leave the Yamaki family and his home. Many years later, Masaru, the elderly grandfather of the Yamaki family, and his ten-year-old grandson, Akira, make a surprise visit to Washington. They head directly to the National Arboretum to visit their much missed and beloved family member, Miyajima. How can one explain to children the effects of a nuclear bomb, and how it impacts people around the world? It can be an awkward subject. Countries that were at one time enemies but are now allies can set a good example for the world. It all starts with one little sapling...Trees have great memories, and I do hope that humankind will remember the atrocities of the past (and present) and find ways to live more peacefully in the future. I am pleased that there isa children's book, inspired by a true event that sheds a positive light on a harsh subject. -Castle View Academy blog The Peace Tree from Hiroshima by Sandra Moore is a beautiful story that weaves together history, geography, family, nature, sadness, peace, and hope. [It] will captivate your children from the first page...[It] can lead to a variety of learning opportunities. -MyLittlePoppies.com blog Wilds' full-page landscape illustrations are the best: lush green forest teaming with flora and fauna, the stark and monochrome shock of a bombed city, and the gorgeous blue sky and pink blossoms of a rebuilding land. Moore's use of a novel perspective gives way to a discussion about the meanings of history, war, and peace. -Asian Fortune News

- i***e (151)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaA* service from this company was a bit sceptical from some of the reviews but this was the best experience I’ve had buying from a company on eBay. My order wasn’t dispatched on time so I messaged them and they replied quickly and helped asap and let me know what was happening my order and it came 2 days later, item is as described and in perfect condition will defiantly be buying from them again, thank you so much for my lovely purchase 🤩
- 3***l (54)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe packaging for this item was the standard cardboard mail wrapper for a large book, so somewhat oversized, and it was left open; unsealed - see photos. However, it nevertheless arrived safely and in good condition, within the timeframe notified, and is a very satisfactory purchase. I have brought from this seller before and have found them to offer good value for money.
- b***5 (274)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaExcellent book, well packaged and arrived in pristine condition. Lots of amazing, detailed recipes and pictures. Well worth the money. No dispatch details updated or communication email received so I wasn’t aware when it had been posted, however did arrive in a reasonable amount of time. Would certainly buy from this seller again.
