Looking for a very old children’s book about Hiroshima (trauma/trigger warning?)

This post is about books from the Hiroshima museum and I apologize if the topic is traumatizing or upsetting to anyone.

Sometime before 1989 (probably 1986 but I'm not sure) I visited the museum in Hiroshima with my family. We bought a couple of children's books and I found them super traumatic so I put them under a mattress when we moved when I was 9 or 10. Now as an adult I'm trying to track them back down. One was Hiroshima No Pika, which I've found. The other I can't remember the title or what the cover looked like. The clearest memory for me was an image of people walking to safety after the bombing and their skin was melted so the skin from their hands was attached to the skin from their legs. It was a kids' book and illustrated.

Does anyone else remember this book by any chance and a have source where I could buy it? I'd just like to own and reread it as an adult and share it with my teenaged son as well.
