Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes (language arts unit)
This photo was taken at the "Sadako Sasaki" Monument in Seattle Washington. The Thousand Paper Cranes legend tells that whenever one gets sick, if they make one thousand origami paper cranes, they will get better. Due to the effects of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima by USA in 1945 Sadako Sasaki was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of twelve. Sadako believed in the legend of the paper cranes, but sadly she could only fold 644 before her death. Her friends folded the remaining 356 paper cranes and buried them with her.
