Have you ever suffered from the warm, mildly uncomfortable impulse to be generous and kind and help make the world a place? If so, we have an easy way for you to share your talents with the world and help make yours, mine, and our dreams all come true: Del Rey’s 1,000 Cranes Project.

Stop by the Del Rey or Del Rey Manga booth and make an origami crane. Don’t worry if you can’t even fold a t-shirt; we have instructions and pretty folding paper. This week, we’re trying to collect 1,000 cranes. This isn’t just a crazy scheme we cooked up: it’s legitimated by ancient Japanese legend, which says that if you fold 1,000 cranes, your wish will come true.

But if that’s just not enough encouragement, we’ll be awarding a special, top-secret prize to the folder of every 100th crane. Pictured here is the inimitable and inestimable Shirley Chan, who folded the 100th crane.
