In "Tsunami!" by Kimiko Kajikawa, a young boy named Kimo and his family live in a seaside village. When the ocean starts acting strangely, Kimo's grandmother shares the ancient story of a giant wave that once devastated their land. Forewarned, Kimo and his family prepare for the impending disaster. As the tsunami draws closer, the community bands together, inspired by their shared history and resilience. The story highlights the importance of listening to the wisdom of elders, honoring their past, and working collectively to overcome nature's challenges. Through vivid illustrations and heartfelt storytelling, it celebrates courage in the face of adversity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
