Based on a true story, this picture book follows the life of a bonsai tree that was already hundreds of years old in 1945 when it survived the bombing of Hiroshima. (Miller Library Staff)
A fictionalized account of a bonsai tree that lived with the Yamaki family in Hiroshima, Japan, for more than 300 years before being donated to the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., in 1976 as a gesture of friendship and peace to celebrate the American Bicentennial.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up.
