A young girl makes a thousand paper cranes as an homage to a girl who did the same after the bombing of Hiroshima. This is a statement on the current war and the paper cranes will be sold on ebay.

  • I loved this book. Would love to know what Sadako really looked like and about her family. I cry every time I read this book.

    The world lost a beautiful soul a long time ago with Sadako died. God bless the young

    child who lost her life to the Atom Bomb.

    War stinks.

    We are still killing people (in Iraq.) We haven't learned a damn thing, have we?

    Hopefully our new President elect Obama will

    get us out of that killing field and lead

    us into peace.

  • powerfull send it to george bush

  • Aww When I Read The Book I Cried Soo Sad God Bless Sadako And People Who Died From The Atom Bomb..

  • But as for the "saving lives" thing, the Americans could have either had a conditional surrender or have dropped the damn thing on a military target.

  • Did he say August 9th? It was August 6th. War stinks,but a Japanese victory would have stank even more.

  • Today in art we learnt how to make paper cranes and we are sending all the ones we made to Japan <3

  • It is sad how war is ripping mankind apart. We should respect our differences and try and make world peace. All this fighting is so stupid. I'm thirteen yrs. old and I have more sense than that.

  • umm....

  • wasnt it august 6 the bomb dropped?

  • i love the story

  • I remember being a young child when I read this book. It moved me to tears and since then I have thought of this story almost every few days.

  • As sad as the bomb is, the undeniable truth is that it saved thousands of military and civilian lives (both sides acknowledge this). Also, MORE people die in conventional sustained bombing campaigns; look at the figures during the raids in Europe for places like London and Berlin.
