Her life and her death carry a message: we must have a wholehearted desire for peace and be willing to work together to achieve it. Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on her city of Hiroshima at the end of World War II. Ten years later, just as life was starting to feel almost normal again, this athletic and enthusiastic girl was fighting a war of a different kind. One of many children affected by the bomb, she had contracted leukemia. Patient and determined, Sadako set herself the task of folding 1000 paper cranes in the hope that her wish to be made well again would be granted. Illustrations and personal family photos give a glimpse into Sadako's life and the horrors of war. Proceeds from this book are shared equally between The Sadako Legacy NPO and The Peace Crane Project. -- Audience:  Grade 4-12   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Makawao Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di J BIO Item being held Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Sasaki Di   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2
