"The story of Sadako has done much to help my life and I believe this play will be another source of strength and courage for me and many others." 

Jonathan Kiddish Weatherly PA


Children's One Act Playscript With Timely Message of World Peace.


In one precise, economical line, the playwright frees Sadako from her task, shifts emphasis from an individual child to the greater community, and expands the story's scope from sustaining a single life to that of a global effort toward peace.
"It is better," says her grandmother," for others to finish the cranes."
Joseph T. Rozmiarek, The Honolulu Advisor
