General Note "Sadako Sasaki was two years old when an atom bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima in Japan, where she lived with her family. Ten years later, she had leukaemia as a result of radiation from the bomb. Sadako's letters were collected by her classmates and published in Japan. This book is the result of the author's research into those letters and Sadako's family background. The author portrays Sadako as a spirited, brave girl who faced her future with courage, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family. Today, Sadako is a heroine to the children of Japan who visit her memorial in the Hiroshima park to leave the paper cranes they have made in her honour." -- Dust jacket.
