I can't verify the reference mentioned in the article, but it looks suspicious. "A Thousnd Suns" is a reference to Hindu scripture, not Sadako or paper cranes. Possibly Sadako is mentioned somewhere in the album, but the article doesn't clearly indicate how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.122.112.78 ( talk) 01:02, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

If someone will find Sadako's public domain photo, please, upload it here, this article certainly lacks it! Cmapm 20:15, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
What is the publishing info on the book? It may not be in print anymore, but it's worth including. If it was "self published" or photocopied or something, we should say that. -- zandperl 02:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Has anyone heard the picture book that is abot her.
My teacher read it to me in third grade. It is great for kids of all ages

Im just at the end of reading this book in class. It is very good, but shouldnt we metion that sadako met "kenji" out on the hospitals porch?? It was another little 9 year old boy that suffered from luekimia. He died a couple days later.
I do remember having that book read to me, actually. This may be it: http://www.sadako.com/edrec/picturebk.html --LinuxLlama

Where is the Japanese version of this translated haiku? It's not on the Japanese wiki, nor does a search of google in either English or Japanese bring it up. 218.220.4.188 ( talk) 02:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
I removed it. It's a nice poem but I don't think it's Sadako's. 60.44.45.242 ( talk) 17:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
" By November 1954, chicken pox had developed on her neck and behind her ears. Then on January 1955, purple spots had started to form on her legs."
This is an odd statement. Chicken pox are an infectious disease. Unlike leukemia, chicken pox cannot develop as the result of the bombing.
If she had an infectious disease such as chicken pox, then it should be stated that "the girl developed a disease", rather than "spots developed". It is bad expression. An infectious disease runs a particualr course. The sentence would be better if it said something like: "In November 1954 Sadako developed chicken pox (or a rash) which began on her neck and behind her ears."

I was at the Children's Hospital and I noticed a fixture they had, it was 1000 paper cranes in a glass case. Should we make mention of this and other monuments, or just popular culture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.224.126 ( talk) 20:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Description about her illness In JA.WIKI, "Lumps start developing around her neck and later her face start swollen like Mumps, the doctor could not identify the cause. Later at another hospital it was diagnosed as leukemia."
there are no mention about the chicken pox in JA.wiki.-- Masaqui ( talk) 06:52, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Sadako was at home when the explosion occurred, about one mile from Ground Zero (in 1945). By November 1954, chicken pox had developed on her neck and behind her ears.
This is definitely not accurate information!
What is more, someone had linked chickenpox. Who ever did that ought to have read the chickenpox page and realised how ridiculous this statement is! Chickenpox is an infectious disease. It is caught by being coughed or sneezed on by another person with chickenpox. It has nothing whatsoever to do with being exposed to radiation nine years earlier.
This very badly expressed sentence should have been fixed, but has now spread, like chickenpox, right across the web to every page that has taken information from Wikipedia on this subject.
There are two possibilities here.
If the Japanese website says something like "By November (something) had developed on her neck and behind the ears..." Then this indicates a long term development, and suggests not chickenpox. If the Japanese page is worded in such a way that it reads as if she suddenly caught something, then "chickenpox" could be right.
This is the best suggestion I can make. Amandajm ( talk) 14:39, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
So there are no way to judge whether it is correct or not. Also diagnosing her disease by reading this article may distort the fact. I just hope that "Chickenpox" is not the result of someone's creative writing and I will wait until someone comes out with more information. -- Masaqui ( talk) 03:01, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
The display in the Hiroshima Memorial Museum indicates that from age 2 to 12 Sadako Sasaki had a normal childhood even excelling in sports. That the leukemia suddenly showed up ten years later somehow gave the story more poignancy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.125.102.86 ( talk) 07:48, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hang on ... in the very first sentence of this article, Sadako's birth and death dates are given as 'January 7, 1943 – October 25, 1955'. Yet the last sentence of the 'Overview' section reads:
Shouldn't she be twelve by now? Since this appears to be just a typo, I'll change it. — JustPotteringAround ( talk) 02:47, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

It says her final words are:
Her Last Words Were "It's good." October 26, 1955 / Shinkoji Temple In mid-October, Sadako's left leg turned reddish-purple, swelling to 1.5 times normal size. The severe, throbbing pain kept her awake at night. On the morning of October 25, the family was told that the time was near. They gathered in Sadako's hospital room. Mr. Sasaki urged Sadako to eat something and she responded, "Tea on rice, please." Someone rushed to a nearby eatery to buy a bowl of rice. After taking a spoonful, Sadako said, "It's good." Those were her last words. She ate a second spoonful, then passed away as if drifting to sleep. She had been in the hospital about eight months.
Should it be changed?
