A haunting tale of innocence, ashes, and the unbreakable spirit of a child.
In the final days of World War II, the skies over Hiroshima burned bright with unimaginable destruction. Amid the devastation, a young boy named Yuki emerges from the rubble, clutching a broken sketchbook and the fading memories of his family.
The Child Who Watched the World Disappear is a deeply moving historical novel by Edward Hale that traces Yuki's journey from innocence to survival in the wake of the atomic bomb. Through silence, sorrow, and small acts of kindness, Yuki finds a voice?not through words, but through art.
Told with lyrical grace and emotional power, this story explores how a single child's quiet resilience can offer light in the darkest of times. Perfect for readers of historical fiction, war narratives, and coming-of-age stories that linger long after the last page.
