A short, easy to read novella aimed at the elementary school child, which tells the true, and extremely sad story, of Sadako Sasaki, a child in Hiroshima who was a baby when the atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Full of life and happiness, she gets leukemia from the radiation she was exposed to. This tells the gut-wrenching story from when she first starts showing signs of illness, to her inevitable death. This is the story of eleven-year-old Sadoko, a Japanese girl who had been exposed to the atomic bomb dropped on the city of Hiroshima, the city in which she lived when she was a young child. She survived that catastrophe but later went on to develop leukemia after having been exposed to the radiation of the bomb. The story starts with Sadoko being a healthy child who especially loved racing. As she became sick, the story told about her hospitalization and her realization that her disease was both painful and lethal. She tried to fight her disease by being optimistic and creating paper cranes with the hope that, if she were to make one thousand paper cranes, her wish to live would come true. That is not what happened. Sadako's story is deeply emotional and beautifully told. It's a plea for friendship and peace. It ends with a telling of how this book came to be written as well as giving detailed instructions with diagrams for how to make a paper crane. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

This is only semi-related but: there's another white woman who wrote about Japanese culture. Wildly different because hers is YA historical fantasy, not a creative retelling of true events. The historical fantasy is "Little Sister" by Kara Dalkey and suuuuper different than this. She doesn't include acknowledgments at the back of the book. She talks about how she wrote about real people and real folklore, and provides a history lesson. She notes which books she read and research she did that helped her write the book. Here, this book...why did this author write about a Japanese girl who died in the forty's, and write the book in the late seventy's? Why was it significant to her? I was too bored and found the yammering too off-putting to read though.
I expected far, far more from this book than I actually got, especially since this book has stood the test of time and is taught in children's literature classes. ( )
