librarybonanza 's review for:

Sadako's Cranes by Judith Loske
3.0

Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
History: 1945, Hiroshima
Tough Issue: Leukemia, Death

Although the subject matter is heavy, we see Sadako's experience through the eyes of her cat, giving a lighter touch to the material. The artwork is beautiful and this book makes an excellent class read-aloud, but I wish there was a bit more writing to emphasize the resilience of Sadako and the beauty of her paper folding.
