lalatut 's review for:
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
by Eleanor Coerr
My 6th grade daughter and I are homeschooling for the first time and we did a unit on Japan. Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is a true story about an 11-year-old girl in the 1950s who died of what they called “atom bomb disease” (leukemia). My daughter was horrified to discover the book wasn’t going to have a “happy” ending and we cried together when we finished it. I was encouraged to see the empathy and thoughtfulness this story brought out in her and we decided if/when we go to Japan, we want to see Sadako’s memorial in Hiroshima Peace Park.
