Ama's Picture Books
My grandmother recently left me her entire collection of picture books and children's literature. The entire collection is comprised of over 300 books. I am attempting to read as many as possible in 2014.
Hiroshima no Pika
by Toshi Maruki
I've never seen this book before, and I don't know when Ama bought it. I'm curious if she owned it when I used to visit her and if she kept it in a different place so where I wouldn't find it.
It's definitely not a book you can just hand to a child (well, you can, but some discussion would definitely go a long way). That said, I don't think it's inappropriate for a child either. It's a terrible part of history, but a part that deserves to be remembered nonetheless.
