One Sunny Day: A Child's Memories of Hiroshima

Hideko Tamura Snider
Foreword by Studs Terkel

One Sunny Day is Hideko Tamura Snider's vivid account of her memories of the Hiroshima bomb and its aftermath. In this eloquent and moving narrative, she explores her struggle to find meaning in the absurd reality of war and the dawn of the atomic age.

"Hideko Tamura Snider, a survivor of the destruction that befell Hiroshima in 1945, has written a book of beauty, tenderness and love, a filtration of facts and circumstances in the mind of a 9-year-old Japanese girl."
—Associated Press

"In this amazing autobiography, Hideko Tamura Snider painfully probes the depths of the abyss called Hiroshima. She has given a human face to an event that still haunts, still evokes horror."
