Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes

---

One of colour paper, cranes come flying into our house.

Twelve-year-old Sadako Sasaki was the lively star of her school's running team when the dizzy spells started. Soon gravely ill with leukemia, an after-effect of the atom bomb that fell on her city when she was two years old, Sadako approached her illness as she did her running — with irrepressible spirit.

Recalling a Japanese legend, Sadako set to work folding paper cranes. For the legend holds that if a sick person folds one thousand cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her healthy again.

Since its publication in 1977, this story of Sadako's spirit and bravery has become a modern classic and has been published to high acclaim all over the world.
