A book that purports to be a true story should tell the truth. In this version of the story, poor Sadako pops off before finishing a thousand cranes. In reality, she did over 1300 and still died. I think that's a much more moving story and points out there is no panacea for the horror of atomic weapons. You can see some of the cranes in the A-bomb museum in Hiroshima.

Readers from the very young to the very old will be moved by Sakako's battle with leukemia. Her story reminds us of why we must work towards peace. It is a story of hope.

I think that this story was a wonderful story. I first read it when I was younger, and I really enjoyed it. Sadako has such spirit and life in the story, and her determination to live is very courageous. It made me cry at the end, but I would read it again any time!! I recommend this book to anyone, whether you are looking for a good tearjerker, or just another good book to add to your collection! Please, take the time to read this one! It is well worth it!

I liked the dark colors in the cover of the book.
My poem Kenji, or part of it:

But gradually, the atom bomb took away Sadoko's energy.
