What I Saw: The Story of Lucky Dragon #5
(Boku no Mitamono: Dai Go Fukuryuu Maru no Ohanashi)
Nanami Minami
Picture book written and illustrated by Nanami Minami. In simple and soft color pictures, a small fishing boat tells children the story of how it was in the waters off Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands in 1946 when a US nuclear test explosion occurred. The Lucky Dragon Number 5 (Dai Go Fukuryuu Maru) and its crew were showered with white radioactive flakes like snow. The crewmen got very sick. The boat was damaged and discarded, but later people recovered it and cleaned it up so it could be in a museum as a reminder of the danger of nuclear power. Children are encouraged to build a bright world of peace.
