a japanese girl, gets cancer from the atom bombs that were dropped in hiroshima in the 50's. she is about 12 years old. apparently as a traditional story goes, if you make a thousand paper cranes then you can get one wish or something. i cant remember full story sorry but i do have the book. =) made me cry. xx
I'm not sure what's behind it.. but if you fold a thousand paper cranes, you can make a wish..
A girl named Sadako heard about a tale that tells if you folded a thousand paper cranes, you get one wish.
a young girl named found out she got leukemia from the atom bomb. while in the hospital, she met a boy who got leukemia from his mother while in the womb and she heard him being rolled out from his room when he died during the night. but even though he died, she never gave up hope. the japanese have a story that if a person folds a thousand paper cranes, then they will be granted one wish. everyone gave her paper to make the cranes but she died before she could finish so her friends finished the job for her and the petitioned to put up as statue for her and you can go see it today. unfortunately i forgot the girl's name. i haven't read the story or heard it since 4th grade
