My daughter came across this short story by Ken Liu, "The Paper Menagerie." It won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story just yesterday (and it's already picked up the Nebula Award). Origami plays a profound role in the main story. You can read the story here: http://escapepod.org/2012/05/17/ep345-the-paper-menagerie.
Happy folding and sharing! Sy Chen
