Sadako and the Thousand paper cranes is an sad book. I think that because this girl loves to run . She and her friend raced to the fair to celebrate peace day and she came back home and ate and went to sleep and went to school and did all the stuff and went to recess and she got dizzy. by Eleanor Coerr

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.
