Description

Soul Lanterns by Shaw Kuzki is a poignant and thought-provoking story about a young girl's journey to understand her family's past. Every year, Nozomi joins her family at the lantern-floating ceremony to honor those lost in the bombing of Hiroshima.

As she watches the paper lanterns set sail on the river, Nozomi begins to notice that her mother always releases one lantern with no name. Curious, Nozomi starts asking questions and uncovers complicated stories of loss and loneliness. With the help of her friends, they come up with a creative way to share their loved ones' experiences.

This moving story teaches us about the importance of compassion and understanding in breaking down barriers. By exploring the struggles that people often keep hidden, Soul Lanterns offers a powerful glimpse into the lives of those who have been affected by war and loss.
