Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
Written by: Ellen Coerr
Upper Elementary and Junior High Grades
"A classic story of a girl’s life turned upside down by war (Sadako was a toddler when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. At thirteen, she has leukemia that will end her life). Sadako is an organizer, rallying her friends in her quest to make 1000 cranes so that she may wish for peace. A wonderfully written, spare book with strong social justice themes."
