Description
A timeless story, beautifully told and illustrated by Judith Loske Based on the true story of Sadako Sasaki, who lived in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, Sadako's Cranes tells the story of her battle with leukemia. When Sadako hears of a Japanese legend which says that a person who folds 1,000 paper cranes is granted a wish, she begins folding cranes. Her wish was simply to live. Loske's beautiful illustrations are based on colored-pencil drawings that have been digitally processed.
