Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes

At school we read this book called Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. It's about World War II. When America dropped an Atomic bomb (also known as a atom bomb) on Japan 2 days after they bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941. An 11 year old girl named Sadako died of leukemia. She was very faithful about not dieingand her friend told her about a legend that if she made 1,000 paper cranes she would get better. She made over half of them but died before she finished. Theres a monument in Japan at the National Peace Park Of her holding a big crane with outstretched wings for all the kids who died from the atom bomb disease. When we finished the book we made paper cranes and i am really good at it!!!!
