This children’s book is disturbing, even for adults. This is because this illustrated book is about a woman and her kids living through the A-bomb drop in Hiroshima. So, right off the bat, you’re talking about a real-life story that discusses people melting, dying of nuclear radiation, and losing family members everywhere…to kids. Even full grown adults often have a hard time reading this without getting emotional, so showing this to kids under 10 in all its brutality may be a bit much.

Moreover, the story of how the bomb burned off peoples’ clothes, limbs, and faces is all featured in colorful yet gruesome paintings on every page. This isn’t even the most recent book cover of this publication, either. The original, as far as we can tell, had a photo of a topless woman being engulfed in flames while holding crying children. Need we say any more?
