Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
by Eleanor Coerr
Age: 3rd-4th grade
Ten years after the atom bomb hit Hiroshima, 11-year-old Sadako is diagnosed with leukemia. With hope on her side, Sadako attempts to fold 1,000 cranes to capture the benevolence of the gods. Although she strives to live, the disease eventually takes over. Coerr provides a tragic tale with care and caution of the dangers of war on the innocent.
