About the Book

A timeless story, beautifully told and illustrated by Judith Loske
 

Based on the true story of Sadako Sasaki, who lived in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, Sadako’s Cranes tells the story of her battle with leukemia.

Loske’s beautiful illustrations are based on colored-pencil drawings that have been digitally processed.
