Sadako's Orizuru Notebook

9/29/2019

Have you heard of Sadako and her paper crane story? Sadako Sasaki was only 2 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on her hometown, Hiroshima, on the fateful day, August 6, 1945. She later developed leukemia and died at the age of 12. Her story touched many people around the world and still continues to inspire many people's hearts.

One of Sadako's classmates, Tomiko Kawano, has started to send the Orizuru Notebook in honor of Sadako's name. Please see the attached document below to receive FREE (free shipping to any destinations) Orizuru Notebooks for your students.
