genre: based on a true story . . . YA
I vaguely knew about this story, but had never actually read it until this school year. Sadako was young and living in the Hiroshima area when WWII ended. As the radiation sickness took away her running speed, then her strength, then her life, Sadako's hope for healing came in the form of folded paper cranes. Her classmates took up her cause when she was unable to fold. She died in 1955. Sad story.
