This picture-book presents the moving true story of the Yamaki White Pine, a four-hundred-year-old bonsai tree that survived the bombing of Hiroshima, and was eventually given to the United States as a bicentennial gift, becoming known as the Peace Tree.

The Peace Tree from Hiroshima is a HF book about a tree that survived the bombing of Hiroshima. The family is learning new secrets about the bombing and how it affected them throughout the story. I would use this book as RA to discuss the historical events of what happens throughout the book. The resource I found is an easy breakdown of what took place in WWII so students will have some background information on what happened. #UCFLAE3414SU19
Another revelation from my recent visit to the National Arboretum: the extensive bonsai collection. Who knew?! This Japanese white pine was started on training in 1625! #localtourism

"What could be a love so fierce, in your hands so gently trimmed. Each little cut you take with caution, a love suspended but never grown."
