My Hiroshima
A new edition of a contemporary classic about war, survival and hope - and what happened to one young girl when an atomic bomb was dropped on her city. On 6 August, 1945, 13-year-old Junko Morimoto's life changed forever. That was the day that an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the Japanese city where she lived. First published in Australia, widely praised, and subsequently translated into fourteen languages, the picture book MY HIROSHIMA is Junko's powerful and deeply moving story of a period in history that should never be forgotten.
My Hiroshima
Miraculously, Junko Morimoto survived the Hiroshima bomb in 1945, but was eye-witness to the incredible suffering of others, including the fate of her school friends. This book is a testimony that can be understood by many readers, according to their age level.
Big Nuisance
Life in Sleepy Village is very slow, and things haven't changed for a long, long time... until Big Nuisance comes to stay and starts a whole heap of trouble! Set in a small village in Japan, this is a funny and wicked fable by one of Australia's best-loved picture book artists. Children will love the annoying neighbour who comes to stay and causes havoc in the sleepy town, illustrated in a bold watercolour style similar to Junko's popular and award-winning picture book, THE TWO BULLIES.

The Two Bullies
"What happens with Ni-ou, the self-proclaimed "strongest fellow in Japan" rows to China to challenge his counter part, Dokkoi? Not what you'd expect. These two enormous bullies are big on brawn but low on bravery--and brains! Soon Ni-oi is hiding in the bathroom after hearing Dokkoi's thunderous footsteps. And Dokkoi is duped by the false show of Ni-oi's strength. Before they know ti, both bullies are back safe at home, grateful that they never had to fight. Eve since that day, when people in China lift up something heavy, they say, "Ni-ou!" And in Japan they say, "Dokkoi-sho!" The short accessible text makes this folktale perfect for younger children. With hilarious illustrations by an award-winning Japanese artist and the silly antics of two goofy bullies, this story proves that bigger isn't necessarily better. "
