Shin's Tricycle

Shin-chan is playing on his tricycle at the moment of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, and dies that night. His father buries him with his tricycle. Forty years later his father wants to give him a proper burial in a cemetery and upon finding the tricycle, he donated it to the Hiroshima Peace Museum. The picture book for children is entitled "Shin's Tricycle" by Tatsuharu Kodama.
