February 7, 2025 - I read the Sadako and 1000 paper cranes story in school, but can’t remember when…I think after 2nd grade. I’m reading the 2nd grade Kyrgyz language textbook and found these lovely pictures that show the background for Sadako’s story. a small atomic bomb on the next page, too 🙃

two paragraph Kyrgyz text with two illustrations underneath. the first of an airplace dropping atomic bombs, and the second of an explosion in a city that already looks like ruins
