Advance Praise

I'm almost speechless at this book. Almost. But forced to find a few words so I can share my love. This could well already by my book of 2020. The writing is just breathtaking, a mixture of poetry and prose, with gorgeous sketches scattered through as well. Just exquisite. And the story. Oh, the story. It's about the power of books. About a lifetime of guilt. About love and hope. Set in Hiroshima, right after the bomb. Don't miss this one. Just don't. - Louise Beech Good Reads
The Last Paper Crane is a touching tale inspired by the bombing of Hiroshima. It is beautifully illustrated by Natsko Seki. Written in a simple but heart-wrenching format by Kerry Drewery. This book can be read by people of all ages. It will not fail to tug at your heartstrings and mourn the outcome of brutal measures taken to end the War. - The Bookish Faerie Good Reads
This book deserves 6 stars or more - absolutely perfect!I was really excited to read this, but enjoyed it even more than I had anticipated. The story starts in modern day Tokyo, with the teenage granddaughter's perspective written in verse, which I felt was really effective at showing her thoughts and feelings as her grandfather's story begins to unfold. - Christina Reid Good Reads
This is an incredibly moving and gripping story about the power of hope, love and kindness. I just want to hug the characters hard and tell them they’re the best kind of people. When history meets the present, can stories help to heal many years of guilt? Just beautiful. - Steph Good Reads
