A Thousand Paper Cranes
I just finished reading this amazing story: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. A sad, but beautiful children's book about the young Sadako, a girl from Hiroshima, who discovers she has leukemia - an after effect from the atomic bomb thrown on her city.

We read this book in one of my elementary school classes as part of a project, and we made cranes afterwards as well. It's one of my favorite children's books, even if it is really sad! I think it made me cry..
