Yukie’s Island: My Family’s World War II Story by Yukie
Kimura, Kōdo
Kimura, and Steve Sheinkin and illustrated by Kōdo Kimura is a Japanese child’s
perspective on World II. Yukie was a schoolgirl when her family lived on a
small island where her father worked as a lighthouse keeper. Her life in many
ways was easy and carefree until the war came closer. This is a story which
would be great for showing history students the real life experiences of
individuals during World War II. Based on a true story, there are three
pages of notes at the end from the authors, which was just as interesting
as the main text.
