Mieko and the fifth treasure

Staying with her grandparents after the atomic bomb has been dropped on Nagasaki, ten-year-old Mieko feels that the happiness in her heart has departed forever and she will no longer be able to produce a beautiful drawing for the contest at school.

First sentence: "Mieko, come down to breakfast!" Grandma's cheery voice floated up from the kitchen.
