Inspired by the true story of Sadako Sasaki and the Thousand Paper Cranes

 

Childsplay presents this inspiring story about a young Japanese girl who dares to dream. This moving, yet hopeful, play tells the true story of Sadako Sasaki, who was just 2 years old when the bomb fell on Hiroshima. Sadako’s courage and determination in the face of personal adversity remains relevant half a century later as children around the world still dream of peace.
