![]() This unique book successfully tells a love story from the perspective of a paper crane(!). It's starts with a boy learning how to fold a paper crane with help from his grandmother. I found it charming. The boy's story arc show joy, fear and sorrow with the paper crane always ready to love, protect, and comfort. But then the boy grows up and doesn't need the paper crane. It gets dusty and when it becomes hidden behind the photo of a girl, it "fumes." I won't give away the (happy) ending, but know it's satisfying and joyful encompassing both hope and redemption. The illustrations by Sonia Sanchez are outstanding--they embody the mood, in bold images of brightness and darkness in each scene. I received a free copy of this book from Storystorm. So glad I did!
