Book Overview

"An extraordinary book, one no reader will fail to find compelling and unforgettable." --Booklist, starred review

Hiroshima-born Sadako is lively and athletic--the star of her school's running team . . . until the dizzy spells start. Soon gravely ill with leukemia, the "atom bomb disease," Sadako faces her future with spirit and bravery.

Recalling a Japanese legend, Sadako sets to work folding paper cranes. For the legend holds that if a sick person folds one thousand cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her healthy again.

Based on a true story, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes celebrates the extraordinary courage that made one young woman a heroine in Japan.
