Description
Manorama Jafa's Sadako of Hiroshima, published by Ratna Sagar, has travelled to many countries as part of an exhibition promoting peace called 'Hello Dear Enemy'. It is a true, heart-warming story of a young Japanese girl who became a symbol of the innocent victims of the 1945 Hiroshima bombing. Sadako Sasaki, exposed to the atom bomb explosion at the tender age of two, succumbed to its fatal effects when she reached the age of 12. Sadako loved making paper cranes and continued making them even during her last days at the Red Cross Hospital. She believed her wish to live would be fulfilled if she completed making a thousand cranes. As she fell short of her target, her friends completed it for her, and the thousand cranes were buried along with her. A statue of Sadako holding a golden crane now stands in the Hiroshima Peace Park. The highlights of the book are: Illustrations by Ajanta Guhathakurta Historical facts in the story distinguished by red font"
