Born in Hiroshima in 1943, Sadako was the star of her schoolÂ's running team, until the dizzy spells started and she was forced to face the hardest race of her lifeÂ-the race against time.

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes

Hospitalized with the dreaded atom bomb disease, leukemia, a child in Hiroshima races against time to fold one thousand paper cranes to verify the legend that by doing so a sick person will become healthy.

Sarah Sammis

It's short but so well written. You cannot go wrong with this!

Short and sweet but powerful. Sadako was just a baby when Hiroshima was atom bombed, but the effects of the bomb last beyond her. A surprisingly dark story for a kid's chapter book but an essential story to tell.

I was obsessed with this book as a child. I connected with Sadako so much (despite the fact that our lives resemble each other's in no way whatsoever) and despite how sad it made me feel, I would read it over and over again.
