Sadako Sasaki was two years old when an atom bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima in Japan, where she lived with her family. Ten years later, she had leukaemia as a result of radiation from the bomb.
Today, Sadako is a heroine to the children of Japan who visit her memorial in the Hiroshima Park to leave the paper cranes they have made in her honour. This is her story.
