Ten years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Sadako Sasaki died as a result of atomic bomb disease. Sadako's determination to fold one thousand paper cranes and her courageous struggle with her illness inspired her classmates. After her death, they started a national campaign to build the Children's Peace Statue to remember Sadako and the many other children who were victims of the Hiroshima bombing. On top of the statue is a girl holding a large crane in her outstretched arms. Today in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, this statue of Sadako is beautifully decorated with thousands of paper cranes given by people throughout the world.Intended Audience:Young Adult AudienceLanguage:EnglishIllustrator:Yesbrand:Random House Children's BooksPublisher:Random House Children's BooksGrade To:UPItem Width:4.2 inGenre:Juvenile Nonfiction, Young Adult NonfictionItem Weight:2.3 OzTopic:People & Places / Asia, History / Military & Wars, History / Asia
