Description
In her novel
, Eleanor Coerr told the moving story of Sadako and her brave struggle against leukemia, the ※atom-bomb disease,§ which she developed when she was twelve, just ten years after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
The novel became a classic, and when Sadako＊s story was to be made into a film, Caldecott medalist Ed Young was asked to do the illustrations. With love and commitment, he created nearly 300 hauntingly beautiful pastels which bring to life the spirit of Sadako, her courage and her strength.
