Ever since Yoko moved with her Mama from Japan, she misses her Obaasan and Ojiisan (her grandma and grandpa) very much. She especially misses doing origami with them. Luckily, Yoko knows just what to do for Obaasan's birthday. Available now for the first time in paperback, Yoko's Paper Cranesis a story about making paper cranes and letting them fly with your heart to those you love, even if they are thousands of miles away.
