Origami workshop and book reading co-hosted by The Hound Books

In honor of World Peace Day, The Hound Books and The Roscoe Collective is excited to hold an origami workshop and book reading of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, by Eleanor Coerr.

Listen to the inspiring true story of Sadako Sasaki, a young Japanese girl who developed leukemia from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Remembering the ancient legend that folding a thousand paper cranes grants a wish, Sadako begins folding with the hope of healing and peace. Though she grows weaker, her determination and spirit inspire those around her. Sadako’s story has become a symbol of hope, resilience, and the desire for a world without war, reminding readers of the power of courage and the enduring dream of peace.

We will also learn to fold origami paper cranes which will be assembled to form a giant mobile once we’ve collected 1000 cranes!
