Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
by Eleanor Coerr (Illustrated by Ronald Himler)
LTF Stock #: 000314
Sadako Sasaki, a lively young girl who loved running, is diagnosed with leukemia ten years after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, where she was two years old. Inspired by the Japanese legend that folding 1,000 paper cranes grants a wish, Sadako folds cranes in the hospital, symbolizing hope and peace, but her story becomes a global symbol for anti-nuclear efforts after her death at age 12.
