Hiroshima (book)

Hiroshima is a book about a town in Japan called Hiroshima. A long time ago, during a big war, a really bad weapon called an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. This weapon made a huge explosion and caused a lot of damage to the town and the people living there. The book talks about what happened to some of the people who were there when the bomb was dropped, and how they felt and what they did afterwards. Some people were hurt really badly and some even died. It was a really sad and scary time for everyone. The book is important because it helps us learn about what happened during this terrible event and why we should try to prevent things like this from happening again.
