While in the hospital, Sadako learns to fold origami cranes and believes that folding the cranes might lead to the granting of a wish. A loving and compassionate child, Sadako's life inspires her classmates to create a memorial in her honor, to remember all the children impacted by war.Filled with new illustrations and photos of Sadako and her family never before seen by the public, Masahiro Sasaki, Sadako’s older brother, and Sue DiCicco, founder of The Peace Crane Project, tell Sadako’s complete story in English for the first time.Proceeds from this book are shared equally between The Sadako Legacy NPO and The Peace Crane Project.
