I watched BAREFOOT GEN last week and what an wonderful anime movie it was! It compelled me to read something about the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Bombing and thanks god we are blessed with mighty internet which lead me to this heart breaking beautiful book. It's a true story about a girl named Sadako who was 2 years old when the atomic bombing happened in Japan.She and her family survived the bombing but 10 years after she was victimized of Leukemia and her BFF told her to make 1000 paper cranes which

They had us make our own cranes when we read this during middle school. I was new to origami, but it only took a couple of minutes to make the crane. I suddenly wondered how long it would take to make a thousand. At two minutes a crane, sitting in bed and doing it for, say, eight out of my sixteen waking hours, I'd be done in less than a week.This seemed funny to me, until I read that the real Sadako did finish her thousand cranes in less then a month, and kept on folding more. But since the

Sadako Sasaki was 12 years old when she died of leukemia. This was due to the radiation from the atomic bomb that was dropped by an American pilot in her hometown in Hiroshima, Japan during World War II.

At the end of World War II, the atom bomb in Hiroshima, Japan filled the air with radiation. Can you imagine living in Hiroshima when this happened? This book takes place only ten years after the atom bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. For lots of people at that time, fear and anxieties concerning leukemia as part of their life. In the novella, Sadako and a Thousand Paper Cranes (based on a true story), the main character Sadako Sasaki is an optimistic eleven-year-old who survived the Hiroshima

It is set in Japan after World War II. The short novel is a fictional retelling of the story of Sadako Sasaki, who lived in Hiroshima at the time of the atomic bombing by the United States. Sadako was 2 years old when the atomic bomb (Little Boy) was dropped on August 6, 1945, near her home by Misasa

Quick, easy read written at a juvenile level. I liked the story and feel it is a great gateway in to many discussions about war, whether using atomic bombs was a moral thing to do, the long term consequences of our decisions. I just read a review stating that the real Sadako finished her 1,000 paper cranes while in this book has her dying (that is not really a spoiler because the prologue lets us know that the little girl dies) before she finishes her cranes. If that is true this book is getting
