Two cherries and a fish moon, Alain Serres

The year 2005 is the 60th anniversary of the first atomic bomb. There are some events that we tend to shut while others are under the spotlight of the news. Editions "Rue du monde" in their collection "History of History" took the initiative to recall this event with great distance and restraint. The text is by Alain Serres and illustrations of Zau. How to address a young player this terrible episode? The tale, perhaps, is a way of saying these things and this edition succeeds perfectly. As every year, Yoko prepares his gift for his old great aunt Tsukyo long hospitalized. As every year, Yoko, wants to know the facts by the mouth of the grandmother. As every year, his old great aunt took refuge in the chaos of a lost memory. AND Yoko not know about this year because Tsukyo has been a long time in a psychiatric hospital because the injury was too great. A sensitive and full of restraint in the history of Hiroshima. Small vignettes punctuate the story reminding us of the facts accurately, supporting photographs. The dialogue between the girl and her great aunt who had his age at the time of the events shows the trauma of victims of the bomb, many victims who have fled into oblivion. The text of Alain Serres describes the desire to know the child and the problem of transmission. The illustrations are in line with the connection by using colors that reflect unhappiness and beauty of life. A recommendation from age 8
