A moving picture book autobiography about a family's resilience and
path to healing after the devastation of war. It's 1945, the final
year of World War II. Yukie Kimura is eight years old. She lives on
a tiny island with a lighthouse in the north of Japan with her
family, and she knows that the fighting that once felt so far away
is getting closer. Mornings spent helping her father tend to the
lighthouse and adventuring with her brother are replaced by weeks
spent inside, waiting. At some point, Yukie knows, they may be
bombed. Then, it happens. One Sunday, bombs are dropped. The war
ends soon after that. Everyone tells Yukie there's nothing to be
scared of anymore, but she's not so sure. So she watches and she
waits--until a miraculous sight finally allows her to be a kid
again. This is the true story of Yukie Kimura told in her own
words, co-created with her son, illustrator Kodo Kimura, and
co-written with bestselling Newbery Honor author Steve Sheinkin.
Yukie's Island is an honest, thoughtful, and stirring picture book
about being a child living through wartime.
