This book was one of the shortlisted books for the 2014 Children's book council awards in the information text category.
This book was complied a few years ago but only recently translated into English and this edition is written so Australian children can relate to the story. For example, Yoko travelled in one day the distance of two City to Surf courses.
This is the real diary of school girl who lived in Hiroshima during WWII. Tragically Yoko did not survive the dreadful bombing. I learnt a lot from this book and life in Japan in this era. I would suggest stage 3, grades 5 and 6 or older would like this book.
