I read this book via NetGalley today & immediately pre ordered it. ~ Not only did Grandmother's bowl survive the bombing of Nagasaki but Sachiko survived the death of her entire family to tell her story with hope for peace. Grandmother's bowl brought the family together for meals and now it can bring others together with its story. The author's note and Illustrator's insight provided a powerful conclusion for why this story had to be told.
